Slabby face variation on second pitch
Seconded up the first crack pitch on a wet day. Lead the second pitch, but the corner was running with water, so we moved out left to the top of the corner and climbed the thin face features for a few moves before it backed off again. The slabby face probably goes at 5.9, and I peeled off it once, but it is relatively well protected by plugging gear in the crack in the corner below.

Another great route on the South Face
Very fun route and can be done in one pitch from Sentry Box ledge with 60M rope. Route starts at far left of Sentry Box Ledge.

Craziness
Start was fun and edgy. Exited the corner right instead of left, felt harder than 5.8 and probably less protected. 2nd pitch corner felt a little tougher than 5.5 as well, but fun.

First @ 1st Return
1st pitch hard at ledge and at crux if you don't use jug @ left. 2nd pitch 5.5? Hardly. more like a few moves @5.7 then scramble to top to tree

Misread topo
We mis-read the topo and thought it was Second coming. Oops. Sure felt worse than a 5.7. Hangdog!
