Description:

This one is a classic. The headwall pitches are a bit beat out. Start at the freeblast and then haul to Mammoth Ledges. The route has gone clean before but most parties still nail on three of the headwall pitches.

Unbelieveable. Very intimidating roof and headwall, and it forces you to commit to the top. We did it without fixing any pitches and hualing up the "free blast" was probably the crux. The climbing up high was super classic and fun. Great portaledge bivys.
