Description
This could be a direct start for Espresso. A nice crack up to a line of bolts past some big xenoliths. 5.11+ is what we remember. The first attempts were initiated by Kirk Miller and Rusty Kirkpatrick about 1989. Noel Childs and Gerry Rock must have been involved, too. Strappo Hughes was first to finish the pitch using double-boots in winter.
Mello approach: Use the Summit Lake gullies both in and out. Axe can be nice of snowfield.
Best descent is to clean the anchor and climb up the ledge toward Rusty Dagger. Classic walk off on ledge (third class) followed by hiking the gully back up to Summit Lake. See Map @ mountainproject.com/images/…
