Description:

The 2nd pitch offers a beautiful straight-in finger crack. Use Durrance approach to the Southwest Shoulder. Pitch 1 (75 ft, 5.7) follows the furthest crack on the right of the buttress. Pitch 2 (5.11b) climb the obvious 90' finger crack above. Most people rap here, but the route continue to the summit.

Really fun. Some thin jams, but mostly good locks.

The second pitch is great! Good gear, at some point I must lead the second pitch myself.
