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. |

| The chockstone that helped everyone pull the crux is gone. Probably 5.9+ now. |

| Before the roof seemed like the hardest part for me. I ended up slinging a chockstone before moving right.
The roof itself seemed so well protected. Phew... Scary looking up the crack though and seeing all those loose looking rocks in the crack above the roof. |
