Plug some nuts and jam, heel hook and jug your way through the roof and onto the slab above, where your quest continues straight up to the top bunk belay ledge. (Its nice to extend the anchor so you can belay on the lower ledge)Pitch 2 - 122' - 5.10+Head up the chimney moving right at the bush continuing up the system until it ends. From here quest up and right to a lone bolt (Bolt out left here is the original line, not quite as good, a good option if you hate bolts. 2 pitches of 5.10 questing rejoins this line at base of p4), then keep questing to the system above, pull a roof and belay on a small ledge.Pitch 3 - 110' - 5.11-Follow the bolts. .3/.4 could be helpful at the top of the pitch.Pitch 4 - 80' - 5.11Climb the center lead wall up and left to the obvious hand/fist crack.
