Description:
Traditional crack climbing up to a small roof and over. The striking finger crack with a huge tree growing out of it. Climb to tree (optional belay if you are tired). Keep going and pop out on to the J-shaped crack on the face. Pull a small roof and climb 5.6/7 cracks to the top. A 60m rope will get you to the top from the start of the vertical stuff, but if you have a 50m, you will have to belay at the tree. FA: Rob Muir & Mike Graham, 1972.

Onsight ascent by:
There's a reason this has been on my to-do list for years
We walked up to an empty route in the shade late in the day. No other climbers around for miles. No time for an easier warm-up for me, so I just had to do it. Onsighted by the skin of my teeth. I think I have led easier 10a's in some places, but this is 5.9 at Tahquitz/Suicide.
Feet are very slippery during the first moves but protection is exceptionally good on this route!

Classic
Amazing route. Don't underestimate the finger crack on the first pitch, and don't let the crux on the second freak you out.
