Description

This is the northernmost of the four ribs making up the Rib Cage, and along with the Long Rib, appears to have an enormous amount of potential for climbs of varying difficulty and length. Whereas the much lower Broken Rib is not obvious on the approach trail, Rogowski's Rib certainly is. It dominates the view to the north from the base of the Long Rib.

Getting There

Follow the approach instructions for the Rib Cage area, and strike north from the approach trail. Do so either at the base of the Long Rib, or perhaps a bit earlier depending on your goal.
