Description

Closest thing to you if staying at the meadow camp. The SW cleft offers some great short routes and scrambling which can be done in an afternoon. There are longer established routes on the North Face. There is quite a bit of variation in the rock quality on the different faces; the SW faces being generally clean friable and sharp, while the north face is a generally solid with more lichen.

Getting There

Hike directly up the choss via goat trails. Approach to the SW Face and SW cleft (cubby hole) takes about 45 minutes. To get to the N face takes about 1.5 hours; accessed by climbing up and over the col to the west, then traversing under the face.
