Description:
The first pitch is definitely the best. It begins with a short bulge of 5.5 friction (with one bolt), then follows a fun 5.6 layback to a small ledge. The second and third pitches are less spectacular, involving nebulous 5th-class climbing up a series of easy cracks and ledges to the summit, which is just below the conspicuous orange dot on the back of the dome. A second pitch variation exists which takes a 5.9 crack directly up from the first belay station, as opposed to traversing out the ledge.Descent Options:

Fun route to take a novice up. Couple hard moves that are very well protected. Hope someone is enjoying the cam my girlfriend could not remove at the 5.6 layback crux. Enjoy!!
