Description:

Climb the crack systems on the right side of the High E buttress to the first Directissima belay. Pump the seam above you(crux and watch your belayer) and head right to a notch in the roof. Pull the roof (pumpy) and up to the ledge. Climb the face right of High E final pitch to the top. Classic for its grade!

5 out of 5 stars On-sight

I had the pleasure of doing this for the first time with Kevin Bein. Kevin had done the second free ascent in the days before nuts and SLCDs, and he said hanging on and placing pitons for protection was absolutely exhausting.
