Description:
If you like crack climbs this is a great route. It has everything except offwidth. First 2 pitches can be combined with a 200' rope. Can rap the route from top of pitch 5 with 2 ropes. Anchors at top of pitch 5 are hangers so if you rap from here you'll need to leave something. (But why would you want to rap?) I have it on good authority that you can rap from the top of the route if you go approx 60 ft right and either leave something or bring a drill and establish a rap station. Rap 130 feet to the anchors on a new route right of Positive Vibrations. Rap this route to the terrace at the top of pitch 5 on Positive Vibrations then continue down on Positive Vibrations. (you may need to leave short slings or other devices as the stations on the new route are set up with 2 bolts w/hangers as belay stations not rap stations) If you chose to do the traditional decent stay on the west side of the ridge as you traverse. Some down climbing is required.

amazing! i led the first four pitches onsight and clean. tim took over for the last four pitches. first four were less sustained and more or less had boulder problem cruxes. tim's pitches were sustained crack climbing. never having climbed granite cracks, i hung on the upper three pitches. it was an awesome day. we could not find the traverse over to the red dihedral finish and so rappelled with another party.

Beware the 5.10 pitches.
I thought the crux pitches were easier than some of the 5.10. For me with thick fingers, the hardest pitch was the second.
fun route, but we hit a windy cold smokey day.

pulled it off!
climbing this route was a wild ass goal of mine and my partner's. we climbed up to the second crux with no falls. one lead fall at the crux before getting the sequence right. I rested on the rope up high on some of the easier pitches due to being thrashed. But we pulled it off, climbing the last hard pitch as it was getting dark. Spectacular climbing.
