Description Suggest change

Classic. From Gunsight Notch, head up the arete towards the South Peak, moving onto airy but easy ground on the west face. Belay after gaining the summit ridge. The second "pitch" is the summit ridge to the summit block.

Location Suggest change

Start at the Gunsight Notch. You can scramble up ledges or climb a route on the west side (climbing Banana and Debbie is a popular link-up, but be prepared for poor protection and exciting run outs). A less involved approach is to take the Cardiac Hill trail up the east side to Upper Broadway and scramble a short 5.0 to gain the notch. To descend use the standard South Peak rappel routes. 

Protection Suggest change

Standard Seneca rack, eats passive pro.
