Description
We climbed it in the summer of 2008 I think and swapped leads. The protection was good for the most part though the first three pitches had some chossy sections. The last 3 or 4 pitches had some 5.10 sections that were incredible with great pro and beautiful rock. The summit was not too bad either being surrounded by Lexington Tower and Liberty Bell among others. The Minuteman spire looks tiny in comparison to its surrounding neighbors but its a pretty stellar route especially memorable as it was my first time on Washington Pass, and I had never even heard of Washington Pass until I moved here from Jackson Hole Wyoming in 2007 I think.
Descend Via 4 double rope raps from a ledge just down and right of the true summit.
