Comments: Descent for the Backside:
Capping the top of the climbs is an extensive ledge that starts above the left end of The Shield all the way across and past the News Wall. Starting at the right half of The Shield is a horizontal row of exfoliation boulders protecting this ledge like a parapet. The boulders extend across The Prok and News Walls. There is one slot in this row above Nobody Likes Bryant Gumbel which has anchors designated as a rap station only. It gets a lot of traffic here so don't top r... more >>

Comments: The rangers would prefer that you DO NOT rap the first gully that Leo mentioned which is immediately below the initial summit rap. There are other loose rocks, so don't add slings to the tree.

Comments: The route is GREAT FUN in a fantastic setting and mostly real easy but, the cairns on the descent are definitely misleading. We carefully followed a good series of cairns to an obvious notch near a corner of the ridge where it goes from N/S to SE/NW. It was clearly marked with a stack of large rocks at a steep descent to the south. It does go around the west then north down the scree and talus but, it is very loose near the start. I was on 5.2-5.3 when I was hit by a good sized rock fall on my s... more >>
