Description
Here's how to find it: it's between The Notch/Kiener's Couloir and the nasty snowfield that dips down below the Diamond, perhaps 100 feet south of where the Diagonal Direct finishes. This is a very wide part of Broadway with lots of rubble. Look for TRIPLE bolts very high on Broadway. These are a rescue anchor for the Park, or for early season/ winter when there's snow on Broadway. The first rap anchor is directly below these, maybe 40 feet, just where the wall drops off. This is also the belay for the last pitch of Endless Summer.
Do 3 raps down to a big ledgy area, then scramble 100 feet down (north) to double bolts, then do 3 more raps to Mill's Glacier. You do need two 60 meter ropes.
