Description:
Good climbing, take the 5.9 dihedral option (some other route) on the 3rd pitch--it's really good!!

Loose Ends to Pear Buttress to Cheap Date
We traversed over from Loose Ends. The 3 Pitch is definitely the best. Starts off as a hand crack and goes to fingers. Good protection. Traversing under the roof will get your heart pumping!

Third pitch
That finger/hand crack on the third pitch is one of the sweetest around. Definitely save a medium cam for the roof traverse or you might feel naked.

Did this...
...right after J-crack. My guide says this is 5.8, and I'd agree. Beautiful hand crack on 2nd pitch.

I believe the nice dihedral section is part of Loose Ends, but I could be wrong. Great climb, I really like the spicy traverse at the top of pitch 2...wohoo. Saw a friend rip out a cam under that roof while following because he missed the big foothold. Looked like a motorcycle wreck.....
