Description Suggest change

Matronaton AKA Don't Matronize Me! follows the obvious, right-leaning, discontinuous crack that shares a start with pitch 1 of Soten. Climb the first 6 - 7 bolts of Soten's P1, then bust right to get into the crack. Follow the crack up and right, stepping down onto the face / utilizing face holds as it makes sense. Eventually after a rightward traverse, pull a final bulge, and top out just below the South Face. Follow the easy slab up to the south face crack/ledge to belay (hand-sized pieces for an anchor). You can easily downclimb on low 5th Class from there to the P1 anchor on Soten and rappel, or continue on South Face

A direct/fully independent start is possible but not recommended due to bad rock.

Location Suggest change

It is on the South face of the Matron and shares a start with Soten.

Protection Suggest change
