The Drain Pipe

Scrambling leads to a tree belay at the top of P1 of

Gates of Delirium

.

P1 Traverse right to ease to a bolt clip then very thin moves (exposed crux) to gain the bottom of the crack (nut/cam). The crack provides frantic trickiness of a different nature, past pitons to a ledge below the real Drain Pipe pitch.

P2 Laybacking and jamming with good pro, and in a wonderful position leads to a fitting finale: hand traverse right under Piasano Pinnacle, what a great pitch!

Same descent as

Valhalla

etc.

1 Bolt, 2 pitons, nuts, cams.
