Description:

The clean right facing dihedral down left of the North Ridge. P1- 5.8+ Go up the corner to where it ends and angle up and right below the roof to a stance around the right side of the roof and belay. Good gear for the belay (small to Hand size). P2- 5.8 The dihedral above is obvious, follow it up and around until you can traverse right to a brushy ledge. Can use the 3 pin anchor on the far right side of the ledge (belay anchors for North Ridge). Great Route with excellent gear

4 out of 5 stars Sustained

First pitch was pretty sustained in the 5.7 - 5.8 range. Bring gear up to #5 cam or a couple extra pieces in the 2 to 3.5 inch range. A single 60m rope will barely get you down from the top of the second pitch. Don't forget to protect the second on the traverses!
