Description
The route is fairly obvious and aims towards a prominent chimney several pitches up the face. Entering the chimney is the first crux of the route and is UIAA Grade V+, or Yosemite Decimal System 5.7/5.8. As one ascends the ever narrowing face, the options are decreasing, until the crest of the arete is reached. Stay left towards the top of the route. The rock is decently solid, and opportunities for protection are also good. The descent is a walk off and ramble downhill from the col to parking area.
Steamboat
Also, it's best not to leave packs at the start of the route, it adds quite a bit of hiking at the end of the day.
Great route, a fun ramble with great views and comfortable belays. Jul 11, 2012
