Description 

This route is located on the East face of the spire. Locate a right slanting crack and follow it until you can launch out on the face to the left. You'll be on a ledge under a slabby, lichen coated face. Uncover the lone bolt and boulder past it to the SE arete to the left. Follow the arete to a bushy ledge. From the ledge bushwhack left to an open area and scramble up a second, short pitch to the most amazing summit in RRG!

Downclimb the scramble and rappel near the top of the first pitch.

I give it two stars for the summit. The climb alone would be a one star route.
