The start is at the end of the trail and involves a modest roof move on very nice holds. Do not go on the easy ramp towards left, which leads to harder climbing.
Fun alpine conditions on 2/24/2023.

This is one place where to start. Just start in the left dihedral to the right of the tree in this photo. Go up and the left following the ramp.
