Description:

Climb the nice white arete just right of RMC, then diagonal right to a ledge. Up the nice white face past a small overhang (crux, easier if tall. Short folks can traverse left to the end of the face, then go up and move back right), then up the face to the GT ledge. Finish on crappy rock, or finish on Betty (to the right) or traverse left 50 feet on easy rock to the RMC belay tree and finish on RMC.

Onsight Onsight ascent by: clmbr121 on 2009-04-23 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Quick and Easy

Good weather that day, mid-50s and windy. Good rap location at the top of the first pitch, south of the first belay.

3 out of 5 stars seems harder than a 7 for a shorty

Crux move seems a lot harder for a short person.

Second Second ascent by: redsamick on 2008-05-23 (View Climbing Log)

3 out of 5 stars quick second with lots of ascent options

seconded up - fun move in the middle. watch the rap down, nasty swing and it sounds like the rope is popping all over the place. as a TR, can go up a couple of ways. start left to do some inverted crab walky kind of moves.
