Description

Drop'em South climbs interesting, juggy, and protectable cobblelike rock on the southern arete. It finishes at a belay ledge with chains. From there you can head right to Pathological Optimist on the east face or up to a bolt on the arete and out on to the west face to join the crux crack of The Totem Pole to reach the summit.
Name History- while cleaning PO Colten K. would yell drop'em south! as the rocks would come lobbing off near him and his gear. We wern't too concerned but he sure was. There you go CK.
