Description:

10 pitches or so. Some can be mixed together in a simul climb. The first pitch can be a bit confusing. Follow the flakes shown on the topo here, but after traversing right out to a nice, stainless steel bolt, you need to continue traversing up and right to a third big flake for the 5.6 version. If you follow the button-heads above the stainless bolt instead of continuing the traverse it goes at about .10a. After the first pitch just follow the prominent cracks up middle of the face. Very Fun.

3 out of 5 stars Regular Route run 2

Second time on the route, last time 12 years ago. The move in the middle (wide chimney/deep fists) still tough for 5.6 and a pack! Bring shoes for the walk off and enjoy the views. Marginal gear on some pitches. Old pin scars take med nuts well. PG 13 for lack of BOMBER gear on route. Getting old and scared. Great rock.

super fun! I suggest the direct start, a left facing dihedral about 30' long to a couple small flakes, then a blank slab to a belay stance...about 5.6
