I found i HAD to free only 1 move on that first pitch, just above the fixed bong with the rusted shut biner, through some MAXIMAL SHIT shale band rock....

Apparently Samarkand at Pierces Pass is an ok aid option.... think i head the aid crux is off the ground, and then its straight forward except for some last pitch (before walk in ledge) slab freeing at 19.....
Any one know better....?

I also heard giant is an easier aid than gigantor, with only 1 pitch of dogface rock, before becoming quite solid. Last pitch also free at 18 (spaced pro).

At least aiding splitters at piddo has some advantages...
Good rock, easy access, and if you need to free some stuff it wont be so intimidating!

Write us up a trip report if you can be arsed....
