Description
This is a true Choss Master classic. This route climbs the crack on the east side of the east ear - the true summit verified with a level. The rock quality is horrific, but at least the gear is acceptable. Complete a short mantel, and climb a semi-overhanging section through a red rock band which has the worst rock quality. Improving rock quality then leads to a ledge where a 4th Class scramble then leads to the summit.
I blew a large rock and fell, so any edge/rock/foot/hand cannot be trusted.
A single 50m rope rappel from a good block on the summit gets you back to the ground.
