Description:
Four pitches up face and cracks to the north of the Hogwild area. P1: Climb slab, using thin cracks for pro. Can optionally skip the first pitch by climbing fourth class to the right. P2: Climb short face past two bolts to nice ledge. P3: Head up cracks to thin face protected by bolts. Clip a bolt and pull a small roof on small dikes. Belay at stance. P4: Mantel up thin dikes (crux) and then make a bee line to the crack system to the left. Continue up this, pulling or skirting small roofs along the way, to a belay stance. P5: Optional dirty and circuitous pitch to the top. Most parties forgo this pitch and rap the route from the P4 anchor. All anchors have rap rings and can be reached with one 60m rope.

Who doesn't love bacon?
Agreed. Last pitches were the best. P1 is interesting to protect on the micro nuts.

fun stuff, lead the 1st and 3rd, swapping leads with BG (Bad Girl). RPs and Lowe balls sewed up the first pitch.

It's always Better w/ Bacon
Was surprised by the shortness of the pitches. The last pitch in my opinion is the best.
