Description This climbs the right side of the East Face past 7 bolts. A bit chossy at the start.

| A star or two if only for the view of Whitney! |

| We thought this was a pretty fun route and a good introduction to Alabama Hills; climb it if for the views of Whitney alone!! |

| Great views from the climb, but the climbing is only so-so and the rock quality is somewhat lacking. |

| The only thing this route has going for it is the photo op. Otherwise, steer clear! :P |

| Replaced the shuts at the top of this route (which were loose) with bolt hangers December 2008. Re-installed the existing Mussy Hooks. Bolts in good condition. A good route!

| A must do if you are trying to "tick" the fin. If not, the routes to the left are actually better climbing for the grade. |

| I didn't think I was such a girl, but we used a stick clip on the first bolt.
After that it was all good. |

First bolt is not too far a reach from the boulder. We clipped it and then did a direct start from the ground. |

| Opening moves are the crux, but well protected by the first bolt being clipped from the ground. Fun route but the rock is a bit scrappy. |
