Finishing up Star Check

Middle of the approach trail goes through this boulder field. Might not look obvious from this angle but the trail was quite obvious. If you pass a mangled, rusted pile of metal on your left then you are going the correct way.

Fixed ropes at base of route. If you have a single 60, you can avoid a final rappel by downclimbing the fixed lines.
