Fun varied cracks with jugs on the right wall of the Composure corner.

Start with some 5.7 left-arching flakes with ok pro and questionable rock. Then gain the handcrack above a small roof, which seemed like the crux. It's possible to cheat onto Composure for a bit to keep the grade down.

Follow the hand and finger crack, which is joined by a wider crack on the right higher up.

This beautiful dihedral lies near the base of the gully on the right side of Snowshed.  Unforgetable jams and stems up the clean crack are well protected.  An intermediate belay can be set at the top of the dihedral before running it out a bit to the top of the rock, but if I remember right this isn't really necessary.

Huge Chimney to the right of Rapid Transit.

A sweet corner, but short.  Climb overhanging blocks to a no hands rest before the business begins.  LB/jam to the top.  Eats all kinds of pro.

An unsung classic for Donner Summit....climb through blocky sections to a nice hand crack.  Take a rest, plug a few pieces, and gun the airy roof.  Finish up crack to right with new anchors.

Kind of a "rules" problem just to the left of Composure's corner.  Nice thin crack climbing...balancy.

When the queue is high for Composure and you have a bit of flair (and a big piece) look to the Flakes.

High adventure value pulling a mini-roof and onto the arete.  Gorgeous "Snowyshed" rock to the top.

Someone I took up this climb deemed it "rather British"...
