Description

I have read various accounts that Ruth Mendenhall climbed several routes on this face in 1938. Ray Palmer and I made several attempts before climbing the whole face in 1968. Our route was mostly run out face climbing, with marginal protection, and a small crux roof on the first of about 5 pitches. Ray called the route "Godzilla's Revenge".

Getting There

When Ray and I climbed the north face we approached the climb from the north side-Camp Colby. Others may know the current best approach. Alternately, hiking in from Red Box off Angeles Forest Highway is straight forward and negates the bushwhacking required from the north side.
