From atop P2 it's easy to change your mind about doing P3- there's a water streak, that maw is awful dark, my biorhythms are not peaking today, etc...
On this day in June 2010 I got it done.

Thanks for that post! Just what Walleye said. I love seeing that transition between heel-knee and heel-toe and imagining the relief. I don't remember the earlier crux.

Nice one! Way intimidating to look at that corner.
The angle of your pics makes it seem different than how I remember it.

Good for you Nutty. I am sick of climbers avoiding this pitch. But it is, after all, the third pitch of the route. People that can monkey-bar the main/2nd pitch very well may be incapable of firing this last pitch, what with it not having much to hang on to in any conventional sense.

The truth, Peter. I always thought it was interesting that this pitch got climbed before the rest of the route, because it's so intimidating (at least it was to me).
This is the best set of pictures of the last pitch I've ever seen. Thanks, Nut Again!

That was my first route in the Valley. I led the first, Wilford led the second and Ken Duncan (I think) led the last pitch. None of us knew any better.
