Description
The Alien variation to the North Face of the Rostrum is the deluxe finish to this already magnificent climb. From the final belay alcove, place a .75 and pull the insanely steep splitter roof. Clip a couple bolts, find a rest on the massive flake and then down climb to a crimp that allows access to the splitter of the original finish via a leftward traverse.
