Description
This is not the best line on Ulu, but it is a moderate route on mostly good rock.
Stronger climbers will undoubtedly find better variations amazing cracks and better rock, especially on the head-wall pitches.
First ascent team did this climb in 2 days because they really wanted to sleep on a wall; a fit team will do this as a good "day" route.
Descent:
Rappel the head-wall in 3 raps, scramble on moss and slabs to the west buttress (Facing the Weasel River). Down climb, scramble and rappel back to the steep moss slopes.
