Description
Perhaps half way up to Morrel's Wall from the old parking there is a free standing pinnacle. Route is on the downhill (north) side of the formation. Tricky slab moves bring you to a steeper headwall to the topout. I remember being able to go either right or left to finish, both seemed about the same in difficulty.
From Glen Dickenson, one of the FA party:
"Route was originally done by Glen Dickinson, Jim Zahn and John Ficker in 1984. Jim Zahn placed the bolt and gave the next lead to Glen who made it to the top without adding another bolt. We talked about adding another bolt but if I had the right gear I could have put in a couple of pieces so we left it as it was led FA."
