Description 

This is a good route. Be careful there is some rotten rock on the route and as the name of the climb denotes, it challenges your route finding skills.
P1. Ascend crack to small ledge with tree (30') and follow zig zag crack to top of the rib.
P2. Veer up and left following dirty low-angled chimney all the way to the top.


Location 

This routes is about 40' to the right of Sparerib buttress proper.
Descent: Double rope rappel from large tree.


Protection 

Typical alpine rack. Build your own anchors.
