The 4th Class approach ramp to get onto south face. Start at the top of the gully.
Rap 4: 200' to a ledge. (Important: skip the intermediate rap anchor set back on the ledge with the sling to elongate it; pulling the rope from this would be very difficult, & with double 60s, you can reach the next ledge where there is a better anchor).

Rap 2: 100'.
Rap 5: 180' to the top of the approach gully. (Important: there is a nicer looking rap anchor on a boulder on the ledge, but the rope pull from this would be difficult if not impossible, so it is best to rap from the edge of the ledge.)
Rap 3: 150'.
Rap 1: 110' from the top of the small sub-summit.
Approach gully. The approach ramp starts at the head of the gully. The East Face rappel route dumps you off at head of gully. Leave your approach shoes here!
Dawn hits the Saber and Petit.
The East Face rappel route goes down the gully that dumps you off right where you started the approach pitches.
Frosty belaying at the top of the main buttress.
