Description 

Fun outing. To reach the trees above for a solid belay this is a 60m rope stretcher and may require the second to begin simulclimbing.

Location 

In cirque 1/2 way between Alpha Male and bottom of pass about level with road across drainage. Park at pullout across from it. Go all the way down and all the way back up. Romulus is the obvious left-most line fed by a gully above. Descend by rapping off trees out on the finger to skier's right. Double ropes mandatory to reach the ground. I'd only recommend climbing here late in the season due to avy danger on approach and from above. Stays in longer that most things in the area since it's North-facing.

Protection 

Screws.
