Ascent Notes for: Backbone Ridge of Dragontail - 5.9 Average Rating : 0.00/5

Excellent and exciting route. My first alpine rock climb. I seconded the route, led by Eric. Difficult routefinding and some loose stuff in the simo pitches, but fun. You do need 6 inch pro for offwidth pitch(s). Technical pitches are clean and offer decent protection. Bring doubles up to 2 inches. Prepare for the commitment, a grade 4+.

We did the route in a one day push from the car (18.5 hours). It was a long grueling day. Several of the pitches were fun and of high quality. Many of the pitches have loose rock and/or are less then stellar.
