Description

From the East Bench climb up on easy rock (5.0) to the first belay at an obvious pine tree to the right of the central channel. Continue on up for a few more pitches, staying just right of the main channel in the face. Set up a belay under the "U" in "CU" and lead straight through the U ( runout). Finish the climb by asending the large crack system directly above the "U" and head for the summit or do another belay if required. DESCENT: There are three rappels from fixed eye-bolts. A single 50m rope is sufficient; on the last rappel, you may either use a double-rope for the 140ft. mostly free-rappel or traverse west on a ledge and rap 72ft. on a single rope to the West Bench.
