Description Suggest change

A wonderful route that zig-zags back and forth over an arete, with thin, facey moves and not too many of the classic Gunks jugs. I found the route rather sustained, but there is a very obvious crux section above gear. This route is not a good one for a 5.5 leader; it's devious, with questionable footholds and lots of smearing throughout. In the guidebook at 5.4 PG***, I'd give it a 5.5.

Protection Suggest change

Standard Gunks rack up to #3 Camalot. Pro is PG. There is a bolted rappel anchor on the face to the left of the arete. A single 60m rope works, but is close.
