Descent Options:

Single rope rap from the summit block anchors into the Corridor.

5 out of 5 stars none

A wacky hand traverse with an absurd exit move. Good exposure on solid rock but a bit manky at the start of the traverse. Yuor second will appreciate more gear placements. A fun, adventurous summit!
