Banzai Pipeline, WI5 M5

Located at the Narrows, right of Avocado Gully, this climb needs some good melt-freeze to form. The guidebook says it only comes in once every 10 years, but if you watch closely you might just catch it in shape. Bring cams and pins along with some screws. The first pitch ends at a bolted belay and you can continue up for several more pitches into the chimney/cleft above.
