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:

first 2 pitches worth it, did the 5.9 variation and slipped on a dynamic move and tested my best gear placement of the week ironically enough. skipped the bolt on the first pitch, why bother.
