Description Suggest change

Overhangs near the top of upper corner system are probably the crux of this route. A mixed pitch of free and aid. The rock is quite solid on this part of the wall. The description remains the same, regardless of which edition of Kelsey's guide you have. We found the route easy to follow. Rainsford Rouner, Gustavo Brillembourg and I did this wall in a casual 2 days in August 1985 during a really long spell of fine weather. The wall gets a bit slabby as you approach the bivy ledges which are quite roomy. The upper half of the route is more sustained. From the top we downclimbed and did several raps on the South Ridge.

Location Suggest change

The approach is straightforward and to us it appeared to be obvious where to start. I can not remember any notable features that mark the start of the route.

Protection Suggest change

Nut, wires and Friends. We had our beloved Forrest Mjollnir hammers with us so may have placed a few thin pins.
