Description This route is a mellow climb to warm up on or solo as it's relatively secure and straight forward. A few meters left of Cell Bound (arete on the upper right side of the west face) there is a large right-facing corner.Climb up into this and follow it to the top of the rock, then go up over the summit to a downclimb E or W, either one of which requires a few heads up scramble moves harder than the climb itself...!

| The route's moves are not interesting for an experienced climber. The down-climb will intimidate beginners (plus it takes 3 times longer to get down than to climb up). In short, not worth it. But the dikes are beautiful and the view from the summit at sunset is lovely. |

| Yeah, if you need a rope on this you're NOT going to be happy on the downclimb. |

| I felt this climb was fun, but finding a decent place to build an anchor on the summit was a pain in the rump. I would not recommend this to a new leader since the gear placements were tricky and/or rather sparse. I agree the down climb could be intimidating for new climbers. |
