Description:

While approaching, look for the cleanest patch of rock on Notchtop, split by an elegant crack. Climb it! There are some slightly spicy 5.9 pitches before and after the crux, but they're not too bad. The rest of the route is on easy ground.

Descent Options:

Go the top then scramble/hike down to your packs.

3 out of 5 stars One good pitch

The crux pitch is worth the walk, but none of the other pitches stand out. Still, the setting is grand and the summit is worthwhile.
