Description This is a good route. Be careful there is some rotten rock on the route and as the name of the climb denotes, it challenges your route finding skills.
P1. Ascend crack to small ledge with tree (30') and follow zig zag crack to top of the rib.
P2. Veer up and left following dirty low-angled chimney all the way to the top.
Descent: Double rope rappel from large tree or walk off.
Location This routes is about 40' to the right of Sparerib Buttress proper.
Protection Typical alpine rack. Build your own anchors.

| There is a walk off, no rappel necessary. First pitch and first half of the second pitch are great, but the top (scrappy, loose, low-angle chimney) keeps this route from being fantastic. |

| the second pitch is the toll you pay for a blissful first pitch, totally worth it though. |

| Climb the face to the right at the end of the second pitch for cleaner face climbing. It is about 5.6R+ |
