Description

Climb the arĂȘte adjacent to the tree to a point roughly midway up the rock to the right facing rounded horn that gives the route its name. Traverse diagonally left to two prominent right-facing flakes, them move up and left to a small ledge. The crux is near the top.

Moose Horn stops about 25ft from the top. Moose Head continues to the top.

This route seems to be a crowd favorite.

Location

Start at the small oak tree 30 feet to climber's left of Penthouse Bliss.
