Na, Mikl, the description for P4 was fine. Neil and I picked out where we thought the route would go from the belay at the START of that pitch, and I then followed that plan to the letter... The reality is that I should have been open to deviating from our plan when on the pitch in question, as it's from THAT position where the real route becomes obvious.

If it's any consolation, while setting up the hanging belay (before bringing Neil up to put in his Red Herring bolt), I actually said something like: "I don't know why Mike wouldn't just continue up the corner... The face above- [not being able to see the choss cave at that point] - looks easy and protectable in the horizontals."
