Hiking to the start. My friend (Janna's husband) was there with a telephoto lens taking some cool shots of us during the whole thing.

Looking up where we started at. Don't know if it was the actual start. If you do decide to start here, just know that my 70 meter rope barley made it to the top of pitch one.

Looking back from the top of pitch one. You can barley see Janna at the bottom.

One awesome shot my friend got atop cap rocks. We were about 300 ft below him! Thanks to my wife's telephoto lens. We are at the comfy belay ledge on pitch one. By the way this area is awesome!

Starting up pitch 2. It leads with 3 bolts before it takes a left facing open book. Supposedly that 5.7 "Crux" is here. I did no find it that hard.

Looking back part way up pitch 2. The crack was filled with old piton scars. It mostly took small nuts to gray and purple camalots.

More proof about some of the over bolting at tollhouse. Found this about half way up the open book on pitch 2. I can't complain too much since I did clip it!

Janna trying to figure out the moves to over come the roof. All it takes is some guts, as the moves are pretty easy.

Janna coming to the top of pitch 2. Now when I left this station I decided to go straight up since the was a bolted sport line that looked fun. I believe it was "Munge Master 5.9". I highly recommend this ending. It was a super fun!

Getting ready to start the Munge! Being only her 3 time out, she did really good.

Finishing up on a cap rock route, I have no idea which one.

Overall this route had it all. Crack (fist to fingers), open book, roof, slab, and if you end it the way we did, pretty sweet face with huecos and all! The route says pro to 1.5 inch. Plenty of short and long slings prove helpful since the route tends to zig-zag. A good route to introduce newbies to a more mixed style climb at tollhouse. Try it out!
