Thats the bvd traverse. I just stepped across there.Took a little nerve but it was easy.Theres no floor and its really rotten where JB is standing.I made the mistake of having the rope to the right of that tiny tree and it caused horrible rope drag on the traverse.Looks like you did the same and ran those 2 pitches together,JB. It's a cool picture taken at the point where you start noticing the exposure.

That pic was taken by my belayer. I would never run pitch 2 and 3 together. I put in the piece up high to keep the rope outta the tree. I also put in a #4 stopper right where the traverse starts. It's like 5.1 or 5.2, but scary fun.

Most guidebooks have each pitch rated. Why not here? I know the pitches are short but still... Do these sound about right? Full Moon 5.7 5.7 5.4 Nevermore 5.5 5.6 5.8 5.9 and ?(I jugged the top and bottom of the last pitch) Diamond in the Crack and Bonzo are consistent 5.6s Foxfire 5.7(If you dont chimney the tree) 5.5 5.0 The last 3 ??
Anyone care to rate Party Time and Whiteout? I know theres more.

I looked through the guide for multipitch.There are lots of 2 pitch routes and lots of low quality 3 and 4 pitch.Sometimes its hard to tell from the description just how many.Think i'll just figure it out for myself when I do them.
