Description:

Wonderful beginner's route for multi-pitch trad climbing. 4th pitch up to Traffic Jam Chimney is the crux. Mainly a hike to the summit after that. Exposed scramble to the summit.

Descent Options:

1 Rappel with two ropes (60-70m) from Traffic Jam Chimney. Set your knot and your ropes to the outside of the big pine tree to avoid getting your ropes stuck.

3 out of 5 stars Fun climb

A nice climb, good for a beginner. Skipped the summit walk, having summited earlier in the day
