Away from the crowds
A nice spot on a busy day - we had it to ourselves. Easily did New Patriot as a single 37m pitch with no rope drag(14 draws, plus anchor). Belayed from the top, then descended in two raps - stopping after the first rap to climb the leftward line of Heartbeat as a short single-pitch. In retrospect, presuming the guidebook pitch lengths are right, I could have just barely lowered back to the first anchor, thereby avoiding one rap(If you try this, be sure your belayer is already tied in just in case a 60m rope isn't quite enough!). Both lines are soft for the grade at 5.9 and comfortably bolted, with mostly good holds and very brief slabby cruxes.
