Description Suggest change

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. 

Location Suggest change

Start at the right side of the lowest point of rock on the north ridge. 

Protection Suggest change

One #4 and #5 BD camalots were used to climb the OW pitch. More would be useful.
