Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Start on the nose of a short arete, and climb up and right past a crack to a stance in a short chimney, then make your way up the slightly overhanging, multi-colored face above to the 3rd good horizontal. Step right and work up past a small left-facing corner (crux) to the top.

Harder than it looks from the base, but excellent climbing. The original route stayed 3-4 feet left of the corner.

Walk off via the Uberfall Descent.

Location 

On a high, steep face just right of Rhododendron.

Protection 

PG. Standard Gunks rack with extras of small cams.
