Description 

Starts on the bottom left edge of the N. Buttress. look for a "wing" shaped flake with a nice crack running through the middle of it. Work your way up more or less in a direct line up to a nice obvious corner with three roofs. After this pitch work up and right to the right of two obvious long cracks. You know you are in the right crack if you have to pass a crazy flake jutting out of the crack. Pass a roof on the left (really cool and exposed) The pitches are long...bring a 60 m at least. Each pitch is fun with varied challenges and the best part...this route is usually totally unoccupied. (North Buttress bad rap I guess).


Protection 

plenty of small sizes (nuts) and a few medium pieces.
