Description Suggest change

This is the classic lightly-protected route that angles up the right side of the face to the White Flake feature at the top of the wall.

The White Flake feature itself is well worth doing but will most likely prove less than challenging for anyone capable of doing the pitch to get up to it.

Pitch 1:  A very long pitch starts in the left of two cracks at the far right side of this section of the face.  At the top of the crack, angle up and left for a long ways to a bolt.  From here, continue up and right until you reach a two-bolt belay station.  Unless you are using a 150' rope like the first ascent party, keep heading up and right and belay at the base of the corner.

The White Flake itself is a wonderful feature and lots of fun to climb.  Follow the corner (5.5) up and left until the angle kicks back and you can easily set up a belay just about anywhere.
