Description 

An OK route but it suffers the same problem as Wishbone - a lack of consistency.

Start as for Wishbone but stay right and pull through the roof (crux) to a wide crack. Easier climbing leads to the top.


Location 

Same as Wishbone


Protection 

The paranoid can use a #4 camalot to sew up the crux.

Brownell Bergen was also on the first ascent in 1964. Just for the record.

used the #5 camalot, was happy to have it. large hexes could have been OK too, especially if you dump the #4 at the crux.
