0 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

I did this route in the summer of 1984. After being on the couch since the previous September, this was the first climb I did upon returning to the Valley. It was a bit strenuous for me, given my lack of fitness. The only hard part was finding the descent as dusk approached. Luckily, we met up with another party that had gone too far past the gully, and come back just as be got there. I think the descent trail is better marked now. I read somewhere that someone had scratched a big arrow into the cliff.
