Don't pull out on the flake on pitch 3. Pull straight down.
At the grade, this is the best sustained multi-pitch route in Snow Canyon, possibly in all of southern Utah. If you decide to rap the route, the last rap is not from the first anchor. A 2-bolt rap station has been set up directly above the apex of the arch. It is above and to the left of the top of pitch 1. It is a hanging belay, but due to the left-leaning nature of the climb, it is necessary. Be forewarned, the rock on the 4th pitch is very delicate and gives up marginal pro.

With Joe A. After many times on the 1st pitch and at least one other on the 2nd, finally got the whole thing in. A classic according to Climbing Magazine. Hope folks expectations of our rock in Snow Canyon are in line when they start up the 2nd pitch!
