Beck is an amazingly sleazy, self promoting, ego-aggrandizing dick. Luckily, I was able to go to Marmot without having a change of meeting him this afternoon. Maybe you got fired for a different reason, huh Beck?
Dunno, I haven't looked at the book. I found it to be easy until you're beneath the big roof. I just went up the big dihedral until my head smacked into the roof. There is a big tunnel with about a million slings around it. I clipped the slings, then traversed right beneath the roof and did a belly flop onto the belay ledge.
You go up a crack on the left to the tiny roof. Traverse right. Clip a few pins, go up stemming between cracks. Clip a wad of sling beneath the roof, then go right and hit the ledge. There aren't any another ways of doing it, yes, it's hard for 5.8.
