Description Climb up the middle of the North Face via obvious right facing corners and flake systems to the bowl.
Start under an arch near the bottom of the face a trend up and left heading for the corners above. Climb the corners for 3 or 4 pitches (some large gear is nice).
From the bowl good route finding will allow you to reach the summit with few difficulties.
Walk off to the Southwest.
Protection pro to 4"

| The corner discribed above is more of a giant flake. I felt that getting to this flake was the crux of the climb. Once in it you are led straight up to the bowl. I didin't feel that any pitch was harder than any other once you are climbing the main feature. |

| We didn't have any large gear, since it didn't exist ... I think all we had was stoppers and hexes.
It was barely my second season of leading, and I was very inexperienced. Dorworth pointed to where I was to go and sent me up .... I borrowed someone's parka, which was lucky since we got caught in a huge thunderstorm in the dark, at the summit. |
