Description:
You can pretty much climb anywhere on the face. The best way is straight up the smooth slabs at the start to a ledge with a tree. Head right and up towards a couple of overhangs and then wander to the top. About 8-10 pitches if you rope up. The guidebook says 5.6 but I don't recall any move that hard and most of it is 4th class, especially near the top. Great location and views!

Snowshoes are recommended in May and June if you can still spot snow below the slabs.

Grerat Climbing, a must do.
Awesome climb, but, you want to start you approach early - 6am. The 16 pitches mixed with the sun that hits the slabs at about 10am can make for a horrible decent.
If you are just getting into trad climbing - this is a great climbed to practice... as funny as that sounds.
