Description:

P1: starts just to the right of the North Face up a steep finger crack. This pitch is stout and sustained at the 5.11 grade, with a .11c crux. Pitch ends at the same belay as the North Face. P2: same as North Face. P3: head straight up face from belay past a bolt (.10) and up to a corner with another bolt (.10c) and some small gear (#0 TCU). P4: The business. Crank up steep face past five bolts and two 5.12 sections. Second crux is .12b. No need for any gear on this pitch. Rap the route with two 60 meter ropes.
