Description:
So at the far right side of the NW Recess are two parallel cracks. This climb takes the right one for 150' then switches to the left one instead of going straight up. Most parties just climb the left one the whole way up which means starting on Wong Climb (super 5.8 fingers-hands) and just continuing up The Long Climb's "Mummy Crack". FA by the great Royal Robbins and Don Wilson in 1952.

Second ascent by:
Long, indeed.
P1 of Wong Climb, then Mummy Crack, linked up 3&4, 5&6. Really fun climb, with some heinous moments, watch out for the "downward jutting block" AKA Death Pizza at the top.
I'll second the suggestion of bringing a #4 Camalot along, and don't forget the micro nuts for the top!

Classic
Some very classic pitches. Did a direct variation instead of the 6R, that was maybe 8. Into several more 8 finger crack and tips dihedral at the top. Also had a 7R section above the 8 finger crack.

Long Climb
Did the original start. Wong start looks better. Second pitch was fun-great offwidth. Couple of interesting moves on p3 too. I think we got off route (again) for the last pitch. Couldn't tell you what we did but it was heart thumping.
Pretty busy route.

A good adventure
up the rock, especially when the topo steers you into some harder terrain towards the top. Linked it into 4 pitches and did some interesting variations between this climb and WhoDunit. Did the "real" start as well which isn't bad, but not preferable.
