Description

The original route climbed steep rock on the right side of the East Face. About halfway up, the crux is a traverse to connect cracks. The Original East Face and the Boone-Hodge were climbed during the same expedition.

Protection

This was done with a 50 meter rope and a rack of perlon strung stoppers and hexes (up to #11).
