Backbone Ridge 

Three lines of information for such an entailed climb. Come on.

I'll second that comment. A 12 pitch climb like this really deserves to be fleshed out some more.

A great line in a spectacular position. Climbing on the Fin is nothing but great fun! Posted more beta on summitpost:

Any idea what kind of snow conditions we might be looking at in the last week of May this year? Route doable?

Notes -
There is a lot of 4th class climbing. you will gain a lot of vertical quickly in this 4th class section. be efficient on the 4th class ground to give yourself enough time when the going is more technical.

we went light on cams for our rack, taking tricams, hexes and stoppers for weight savings. looking back, i would take a more standard cams based rack.

amazing exposure on the top "fin" pitches. great climbing. four stars.

This one can be done as a long day climb from the parking lot. it's burly but can be done. i think we did it in about 18 hours round trip. i slept good that night....
