This route climbs the small face and just to the right of Five Pack. Pitch 1: climb the arete and adjacent face to a good belay ledge. Pitch 2: go straight up the face with a few protection bolts and some gear placements to a bolted belay station near a big overhang. Pitch 3: climb left and up past protection bolts to a ledge beneath the final headwall. Climb straight up to a belay station at the top.
Rappel the route. Be careful of rope snags on the numerous flakes and horns. Alternatively, continue to the top of the Magic Triangle.
The 3rd pitch is one of the best I've done. The dean said it was one of the best pitches he's ever done. Great face climbing with equally great exposure. The first pitch wanders a bit. I would not try and combine the 1st and 2nd.
