Description
Follow the obvious ridge line.
P1: Climb 5.5 past 3 bolts, then follow the ridge to a huge belay ledge.
P2: Move out onto the exposed arete, climb up past a few bolts to the final summit block. 5.6 (This pitch can be scary for the second due to the long traversing nature and potential for a pendulum.)
Rap: We used 2- 50 meter ropes. I am not sure if a single 60 meter rope would work. Rap off of two bolts.
