Description:
Nice crack climb with the "killer loose" block (it's been there since @ least the thirties...) on the right side of N face snowshed. Be careful abt the pro on the first twenty feet. 5.7 in the guidebook, mikey C is just wrong abt that.

Second ascent by:
nice!
Nice feet, cool liebacks and jams, scary "widowmaker" block in the middle, easy cracks above that. Full 60m rope length to top. Great climb!

Soloed hundreds of times over the decades....was my first 5.8 lead as a kid...1976. Originally rated 5.9, it was downrated twice over the years. I still think it has one 5.8 move, on the lieback section about 20 feet up.

This was fun since I never climb onsights. Great long pitch, cool climb. Belayed Brian off 'biners from top. I hate belaying off biners . . .

stout face move
Did I traverse too soon or too late? The move and a half to get over into the direct route's crack felt like a .9 to me. Feeling proud. :)
