so far this is the coolest thing Iv done all summer. It was 23 pitches of some of the best rock climbing Iv ever experienced! as we sat down to rest after the approach david and jim just got down after doing it in 3 hours and were running off for the nose! good job guys!
we approached and fixed to pitch 3 day one, climbed it and slept at the base on day 2, decsended the slabs on day 3.
PS. I need a big wall partner for walls in the valley, please Pm if your down! and both springs are running and if ben the climbing ranger reads this, we picked up a ton of bottles!

Nice job!
I'm sure this will be one of many in your future.
I did it with my son about one week ago. It was a load of work at my age of 67.

we had the follower just free climb most of it which was quicker because I had to rope coiled all nice for when he came up and started leading. we both wared packs and we brought way to much water! juging to chimney pitches and ~4 through ~12 would be awkward too. and who wouldn't want to free climb those ultra classic 5.9 pitches?
