Beef of the route starts on the big partially detached pillar (watch for loose rock and sediment).To climb to the top of the pillar ledge. You can climb a much easier crack on the face or climb the offwidth on the left (#5 camalot if u want gear)Crux is at a small bulge with a long move to a crimp, then some tomfoolery to the next edge. Stay tight. Ticktack climbing to the top.

Continuous climbing leads to crux moves near the top.  

  Great route and named for a wonderful friend Howie Doyle

Finger crack layback for 15' to chossy section, trend right then back left on blocks and up onto sustained face. Loose block getting onto face wouldn't come out.  Layback and crimp up face to wild bulge and anchor. ok rest before finish.  Great moves and  great rock on upper face.

Climb broken overhanging face to thin moves above.

Some loose rock near the bottom, cool moves reaching the arete.

Hand crack start in short right facing dihedral. Step off blocks onto closely bolted start on face and go up to anchors.

Start up mini arch with 2 bolts then go right on chossy ledge to arete and up technical corner. After the corner trend right to lower off. Be careful at the 4th clip (I think?)! FFA was done with 5 bolts!? Done on my birthday 2001.

Tallest and most austere of the walls at this crag. Several of the most continuous and sustained sport routes are found here.From Climber's right:BlockbusterAfterburnerWindburnFire it upBig HowiePinch to Grow and InchLet The Daylight InSpeed of Sound
