in addition to the above mentioned changes, there are a few more to be noted. First, the old 2-bong belay at the end of the pitch-2 traverse has been replaced by a new 2-bolt anchor. Second, the bolts at the belay after the third (chimney) pitch are apparently gone - keep that in mind in case you plan to bail from there. Third, the big flake on pitch 4 that used to be part of crux move is gone...it had come loose and was pushed down by a local guide. The move isn't any harder but a little different.
The fixed anchor at the top of P.1 consists of two (very solid)fixed bongs, not bolts. The protection bolts (not pins) on the traversing second pitch have been removed (good gear protection) You can build a solid gear anchor at the top of P.3.

Route CommentAt least as of May 2004, the fixed pins on pitch 2 have been chopped.
