Description:
A wild lead up a loose and intimidating face. This 4-pitch route wanders all over the face to top out on the summit ridge. There are many long run-outs on difficult climbing, so beware. Pitch 1 climbs the hollow flake to a steep face with 3 fixed pins. *Note* - a large portion of this hollow flake was pulled off 2 weeks ago by an acquaintance of mine making the climb substantially more difficult and harder to protect. Pitch 2 works up and left to a pothole belay. Pitch 3 climbs the headwall to a large ledge behind the flake. Pitch 4 has two choices to the summit ridge - right (5.10b) or left (5.6).
