Description
Description of the first half of the route (North Ridge Escape) is found in the 4th Edition of "A Climber's Guide to the Teton Range" Jackson/Ortenburger. The Directissima continues up the 5.10 OW crack to gain easy ledges. Follow the ledges up and right until it is possible to traverse left back to the true ridge (5.10- R) where it runs parallel to the upper dihedral of the North Ridge route. Continue to the top.
One of the longest continuous climbs in the Tetons.
