Description
A classic picnic route, and the easiest way to access the top of the Rostrum.
Rappel 75 feet from trees into the notch between the South Rim and the Rostrum. Establish a belay on a comfortable ledge. Step boldly right onto a rounded arete, with 1,500 feet of air beneath your heels. Take a moment to enjoy the incredible exposure, then jam your way up and left to the top of the Rostrum.
Unless you are using a tyrolean to get back to the rim, rappel 70 feet from bolts back into the notch. Climb an easy, right-facing corner back to the rim.
