Ascents of Beginners' Three

Direct start seemed really hard, so started from the left of the crack, then up the crack itself. Protects reasonably well, though a bit run-out at the top.

Solid pro; nice route for beginning crack climbers. Two things make it a "beefy" 5.3: 1) the crux start can be a bit tough; 2) it's a left leaning crack which increases the potential for one to barndoor off (though there are holds on the arete to the right if you need them where that's most likely to happen)
