Wow! Heady climbing at the finish.
We did it as two parties of two. Nice day and warm to boot. The 5.9 part was ok, the final runout was a tad exhilarating.

Linked p1/p2. Bolts on p4 are interesting. the 1st one is labeled "Bad Bolt" At the 2nd bolt I went straight up despite what the guidebook said (something about going left). The 3rd bolt was too far from where I was (and would have caused crazy rope drag anyway) so I skipped it. Easy climbing above so not a big deal. The approach and descent in Suction Gully realllly sucks!

Hated the approach and descent cuz it was really steep and crumbly
Fun climb. Proud accomplishment.

Combine the first and second pitch into one! Running the second and third together is one hell of an experiment in rope drag, but a great mountaineering belay. sling the bad bolt on pitch 4 and zig zag up it, it's solid!
