Description 

Description: Face and cracks on east-facing arete of the huge buttress located L of Transmission. Clip the first bolt then natural pro and more bolts to a body length roof (crux) for pitch 1; 4th class 40' to gain the top of the buttress and the anchors for Remission. Pitch 3 begins in a crack on the belay ledge. Bolts and pro bring you to a 5' roof split by a crack in the center. Climb above the roof on natural pro to the anchor.

Lots of fun. I remember the initial gear section (above the first bolt) being a bit fiddly but not too bad. The first roof is great!

Great climb--an absolute must do!

I was a bit hesitant to jump on lead because of the looks of the gear from the ground. But as it turns out bomber gear drops in no problem and the climbing is really great. A handful of micro cams works well. Pulling the roof was tough.
