We did the alternative start, which wasn't that great. Don't get suckered into going to the top of the corner, the correct way is to belay down 15 feet and go directly up from there. I wonder if the best way to start it is to climb the first pitch of Bombs Over Tokyo (5.10c amazing fingers) and rappel off the bolts there to the start of the 2nd pitch of Cooke Book? Looked like it should work.

The crux pitch is really nice, the 5.10a is a bit tricky but well protected, and the following 5.9 crack is great.

Before driving home, we went to Harlequin Dome and toproped Chinese Handcuffs, a cool 50' 5.10d roof/finger crack.
