4 out of 5 stars Strange top out

This was a fun route! Really was. But then the top out directly above the last bolt was a shocker. It was covered in sand and loose shale when I did it, as consequent, I never saw the supposed fourth bolt as shown in the Bigfoot Guide (I assumed it was under the shale). I ended up traversing right along the arete to top out.

There is no scramble up the top of this pinnacle. The east face is a 12 foot climb above a large chockstone in the chimney to the right of Macintosh.

I used this to get to the top of the pinnacle so I could toprope back door man. Last bomber hold may fall off soon.
