Description:
(p.1, 5.7) Same as for Diedre, climb the mungy and often wet triple corners to a comfortable belay. (p.2, 5.9+) Step down and make a 35 foot hand traverse left, then step up to a 2 bolt belay. (p.3) Step left and follow a line of bolts up to and through a puzzling roof (crux), continue up a series of sustained thin shallow cracks to a belay. Most parties rap here but the route has two more pitches of corner climbing to the top.Descent Options:
1 double rope rappel to the ground.

Some good climbing
One good pitch, and the rest was forgettable.

Don't Fire
A fine route with an interesting crux and good sustained climbing above, deserving of more traffic but the "approach" keeps too many people off.
