Description 

People don't seem to like the description that I posted. The route did not really have any truly memorable climbing. Which was reflected in my brief description. So here is an attempt to get someone to give a better one. PM me if you can do a good job. I was just trying to get some info out there. Sorry to all you folks who haven't realized that there are TWO guidebooks for the area.


Location 

Approach the Southeast Shoulder of the Snowpatch Spire. A prominent notch shows the beginning of the route.


Protection 

Standard Alpine rack

This is one of the worst route descriptions in all of Mountain Project. It contains no beta about a long, intricate climb with both an involved approach and descent.

sorry there dave
but this route took us 2.5 hours as a group of three.
the route is not that long, or intricate.
The approach is easy, as is doing the standard rappel on the west face of snowpatch.
By the way there David, guideline #1. Don't be a jerk. thanks.

Regardless of whether the route is or is not long or intricate, the description certainly is brief to the point of useless.

Not being a jerk, just calling it like it is.

This was a fun solo, with some really cool hand traverses, and great views.
