Before going for the right pocket, should I high-step right on the previous rail or something else?

I was pretty tired trying out this route, but I didn't think I'd have trouble at the beginning given that the guidebook says the first part is like 5.12a and people have commented on the whole climb being V3. I had trouble between the 3rd and 4th bolt - the heavily chalked areas suggest I make a big...

Last time I visited the Motherlode wall, my car almost didn't make it back up the hill. Is there another parking area close by I can hike to the wall from? What if I pay the guy at the top of the hill $5 to park at his house?

Not driving there would be great too since my car barely made it up the slope. I had to unload all our gear and use some rocks as chalk blocks. Too funny...

I have a sound system and unfortunately can't take that out. Do they hit cars with alarms too? I put a sign on my door saying I have an ala...

So is the move at the roof a big campus to a far crimp at the upper right? I'm saying it's big and far 'cuz I'm not a tall climber.
