Hi Mike, Pretty good pic of Dark Star (Dumais guide called it Right Side Chimney). To the right on the edge of the shadow there are a series of flakes, ledges & corners that break into the sunlight. I believe that is the route Culp & Duncan did. Unnamed & probably unrepeated.

Eric leading the direct start to Right Chimney.
Dark Star, July 3, 2004. Did not do the route due to a broken crampon, but it was in prime shape.
Russell climbing up the second pitch in thin, mid-May conditions (2024). There is no ice to be found, but stellar mixed climbing abounds.
