Beginning the lead of P4 of...

Beginning the lead of P4 of Northeast Face (A1 5.8+....I'm guessing here). The pitch begins with a steeply overhung face section and you really will need to stretch to reach the first pieces (some thin webbing on an old piton) - I'm 6'7" and could barely make it (bring a stick clip or make some thin free moves or do a shoulder stand using your second...). Shirley is belaying me from the huge halfway ledge on NE face. All belays on this route are on very comfortable ledges (October 30, 2004).
