Description:
Pitch 1& 2: Climb a chimney system up the left side of the south face. Pitch 3:Move to the east along the ledge just to the bottom of a crack near the right side of the south face. Pitch 4: From here you can either climb the crack or climb a variation to the right of the crack, a long pitch no matter which path you take. Pitch 5: Belaying from a ledge continue up the right side of the south face to another ledge just under a slight roof with a nice crack. Pitch 6 & 7 can be combined to one long, tough pitch. Start just under the slight roof/crack and conitinue right onto the east face, here starts the fun part, start one of the crack systems and move left and encounter a slight roof once over the roof start another crack system that leads to the summit. Descent, at the summit rap 85' off summit bolts. Look to the north and encounter 2 more bolts and rap another 85' to a slight saddle. Scramble west down a steep gully about 200' there you'll encounter 2 more bolts for your final rap to ground.
