apparently following whit magro's lead, kyle amstader and i followed the gully above elevator shaft to the ridge. about an hour above elevator shaft was a rock band with at least 5 separate climbs from WI2-5. buyer beware: heinous slogging involved. above this we kept slogging and ran into another rock band with a WI4 pillar and some little stuff to the side. above this, and with some nasty chest-deep slogging, we hit the upper rock bands and skirted (due to time) towards the right to top out a bit north of the true gully above elevator shaft. great rock up top (for hyalite), probably 5.6/7 for short sections. dropped over the top of the ridge and followed the drainage down to land exactly in the parking lot. tons of fun, gorgeous day.
