Description:

Take the South Face Approach and then follow the Ramp to the East Ledges. Look for a right facing dihedral. Pitch 1 (150 ft, 5.8+) start up the corner passing two bulges along the way to the bolt anchor. Pitch 2 (110 ft, 5.9-) follow the crack up to the Meadows. Up and to the right is a nice horizontal crack to set a gear anchor. Summit via the Meadows, or rap via Hollywood & Vine or take the El Cracko rappels.

5 out of 5 stars climbed this

its not too hot to climb in july! at dawn! though it was *terrifically* (terrifyingly) windy just before dawn. scrambled up the fourth class, waited out the wind, climbed as the sun broke. led the first pitch, followed the second, soloed the scary "4th class" to the summit. not G rated, only because of the many potentially grave falls on the flanking 4th class sections.
