Description

Scramble left from the snowfield to a nice belay spot below the North Buttress Route.
P1 5.8 200+ ft: Climb the 5.8 corner of the NB route, to a large ledge.
P2 5th class 50ft: Short easy traverse right to a nice stance, belay beneath a splitter tips crack corner and a second thin dihedral with an arching crack to the right.
P3 5.11a 90ft: Technical and superb! Start right of the splitter tips corner. Lieback a thin dihedral to the arching crack then traverse back left into the splitter tips crack corner which has widened here to thin fingers. Fixed nut anchor at a small foot stance.
P4 5.11 PG-13 90ft: Intermittent crack and a face climbing crux protected by thin gear, this bit has some friable rock crunchies. Fixed nut anchor at another small stance.
P5 5.11 100ft: Amazing alpine Splitter! Stop to smell the namesake purple flowers sprouting from the crack. Enduro 1" crux, place all the .5 Camalots you brought, avoid hyper-ventilating! Finish on cool diorite features to a gear belay on a big comfy ledge.
P6 5.7 300ft. Head up and left to rejoin the NB route, alpine ridge terrain to the summit. Killer view!

Location

North face of Mt. Goode; this route shoots up the steep green headwall (climbing right after the North Buttress 2nd pitch) for three excellent, sustained pitches, then rejoins NB to finish on the summit ridge.
