Description
To quote Jim Howe of his report of the first ascent in the American Alpine Journal:
"...Empty Sky, was established in February 1998 by Jason Keith and me, after we searched for a nonexistent ice route on the north face...we climbed this route [and] made about a dozen abseils to get off the peak...The route begins a few hundred yards right of the northwest ridge, in a notch between a large pinnacle and the west face. It follows the line of least resistance toward the north face. Expect moderate climbing and plenty of simul-climbing, with only a few short 5.7 and 5.8 bits. The crux is in the exit gully over the north face. We found a few pins, probably marking the descent route of the Swiss after their ascent of the north face...
