P1: 140' - Describe a line, using the crack/grove as a guide, to a point somewhere near the low point of the base. Start here and paddle up an easy, low-angle slab, aiming directly for the crack I60'). Follow the crack/groove, as it very gradually thins, to its terminus below some chicken heads. About 10' above the point where the crack/groove terminates, set a belay on a decent stance using a couple of decent chicken heads. About 10' higher still is a large knob that, if you're comfortable with a single-point belay, would also work.P2: 40' - Continue upward about another 10', then walk on a substantial ledge another 20' or 30' to a cluster of 3 boulders. You could use the rope to anchor to the boulder(s), but a hip belay should be more than adequate.Note; You could probably do this in a single pitch with a 60 m rope, but rope drag might have you hating life. We used a 50.

Take the path of least resistance up the wide, shallow channel, following a "more or less" direct line, heading for "the sleeping dog". The face becomes more featured as you ascend. Either "let sleeping dogs lie" (you can pass on either the R or L side) or go straight up the center. There are a few moves of easy 5th class, and the first reasonably good pro is found here. Continue up and over the dog's back. At the tail of the dog, where it narrows to a point, is a small gap of a foot or so between the dog and the main wall, where you will encounter a rightward arching crack/flake/overlap kinda-sorta feature. Follow the "crack" (it is protectable if you feel the need) to its terminus and then, going straight up, follow the low-angle face pulling knobs and plates up towards "the trap". Surmount the junior-sized Pullman Car to the R side of it's southern aspect (easy 5th) and continue up more low-angle, well-featured face to the walk-off.

Approach as for Avalon, but continue along the base toward the Ravens until you reach an obvious chimney that widens into a gully about 40 or 50 feet above its base. This chimney demarcates the division between Avalon and Booker's Dome.
