Description
From the notch you'll see a small ledge that cuts across the (South)East Face.
P1 (70 ft/20m): Starting at the notch climb a short ramp (~15'/5m) before heading up a short dihedral to the ledge. Traverse across the narrow, exposed ledge and belay below the obvious flaring chimney (low 5th).
P2 (~30'/10m): Climbing the flaring chimney to the summit where there is a small tree and some gear options.
Two pitches are recommended despite the length due to the wandering nature of the first pitch.
A single double rope rappel easily reaches the ground. An intermediate rappel could be set up. Be careful of the rope eating snag when you pull the rope.
The route does not see a lot of traffic and has a lot of lichen and is very slippery when wet. It started snowing just before we began climbing and by the end it was too slippery to do much of anything.
