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

3 out of 5 stars 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.
