Description:

Route is generously bolted and any climber will be comfortable leading this. Bring at least 15 draws. I hear its a great route, as it does follow on arete, and gives awsome exposure

5 out of 5 stars Prime Rib

This is long route, 13 pitches. The rock is fairly good quality where it needs to be. There are a couple of long "scrambling" sections between some of the pitches and a couple of other places where you need to move the belay a short distance. If not for this, the route would be a classic. It is very well to over bolted. 13 raps on a 60m rope. Some of the pitches have fantastic exposure. Some say this route is over-rated, but there are a couple of pitches with short 5.9 cruxes, and one pitch with sustained 5.9 technical face climbing. Over all a great and worthwhile route.
