Description 

When you arrive at the base of Glass Ocean, there are 2 bolted routes. The right climb is Left Tributary. Thin beginning followed by a tough mini-roof. Enjoy


Protection 

3 draws and a 1 bolt anchor unless you continue up Glass Ocean. Don't recommend the 1 bolt anchor.

If you've done Glass Ocean already, jump on that and clip the 3rd bolt with a long runner then move left to join Northwest Passage. Another long runner on the bolt above the ledge makes for a long fun line that doesn't make you reclimb Glass Ocean (even though it feels about the same). The bottom feels way easy for .10d with great feet and a big hidden crimp for the roof.

Kind of an interesting sequence. I thought it was harder than 10d but as I sprayed beta to my buddy on his try he made it look a little easier. Food for thought.
