Description:

On the west end of the summit dome, scramble down into the ravine and climb up the chimney and into the eye socket of the face on the rock. Keep your cool and step out onto the nose climbing through 3 or 4 friction moves to a couple of dishes then up to the summit.

Ive eyed this route since we first started coming to the motherlode. Having never actually summited the mountain, i was itching to get up there. This line is unprotected on quality rock. Only a couple moves and your up, but with a 35 foot ground fall potential, I stuck a belay just below in the chimney. Easiest route up the summit.
