Description
Scramble up the Northwest Ridge. One 5.6 move to get started, then 3rd/4th class, followed by a few more 5.6 moves on slab to gain the summit.
4 stars for the general summit and adventure (including the scramble past the waterfall on the hike in). 2 stars for the actual rock climbing.
Location
Start from the northwest ridge, in a gap separating the main formation from a very small sub formation to the west.
Protection
Pretty reasonable to solo but a single rack would be more than enough. Not much pro for the slab at the top.
I imagine there are rap anchors somewhere on this formation but I didn't see any. I just downclimbed the route which was fine for me but if you need a rope on the way up you'll definitely want one for the way down.
