Description:
right of east face route. climb up to an almost horizontal crack and traverse right then up. You get a few bolts, smc 1/4" and some 50 year old death hanger and some knob tie offs. route is 5.9 in falcon but there is a 10 move at first bolt. pretty adventurous and chossy but way fun. bring pro to 3". many of the knob tie offs are questionable.Descent Options:
rap off backside

Fun, and heady
This is a very good route that requires some route finding and has a 10 move hiding in the middle. Bring sacrifical webbing to rap of the top.

well the route is pretty fun, chossy and adventurous. lots of questionable pro and old bolts. climb to a massive crater to belay out of. better have your head games in check. oh and I dont think this route goes at 5.9, maybe 10b? I have no idea
this might be considered runout also, not sure!
