P1:varied crack- initially fingers and hands, pass an awkward face move (5.9) to OW, clip a bolt to the left then hand traverse on jugs to corner system, above this clip rap anchor and continue up easier another 70ft to next anchor.PG13.   P2: move belay to the left 30ft. MONEY PITCH- this is what it's all about. Climb fingers in a steep right facing dihedral, pass a couple small roofs and a pod to anchors 110ft (12-)   P3: continue up dihedral on 5.8 hands (80ft)   P4:turn arete onto North face pass a couple of bolts and gear. The exposure is HUGE! We climbed this pitch as a mix of C1 and 5.11; it'll probably go at 5.12. Alternatively, continue up dihedral/ow/chimney 5.10ish "Damfido". Rap the route.

Damfidont

Damfino Spire

P1- thin hands 5.10- to choss to ledge with "bad bolts"   P2- Enduro OW 5.10+ chickenwing/hand stack or lieback 150ft or so to some truly bad rusty button head bolts at the notch. I give this 5.11- for the endurance factor.   P3- climb choss to tunnel thru to easy chimney to a spectacular summit.

canyon runs fairly east-west, definitely not crowded, a back country experience... DAMFINO!
