North Face
About North Face:
If you wanna avoid the crowds, head over here. But be prepared for steep scary climbs. To get there, either climb up the South Face and walk over, or take the Summit trail to the top of the South Face. |
Approach: | Two approaches for North Face: 1) The initial approach to the North Face is by climbing a South Face route to the top or hike the summit trail. To reach routes on the west side of the North Face, walk west around to the top of the North Face. Keep well to the west and make your way down sometimes steep slabs until near the tree line. Walk along the base or on the low-angle slabs to reach the routes on the right side of the North Face. To reach the routes on the east side of the North Face, it is best to locate the pine tree at the top of Stainless Steel. Rappell with two ropes to the bottom of the North Face. 2) Western side of the North Face may also be most easily approached by taking the tourist trail up to the first slabs. Once the slabs are reached, head down and left, staying mainly on the rock. Eventually one must head up a final easy slab to reach the level, tree-covered platform from which the routes begin. This approach is mainly class 3 and 4. |
