Description
The north face is known as the Land that Time Forgot. The routes, along with their names, suggest almost a mystical feel. The friction on this granite is unmatched. You may find yourself sticking to stuff you wouldn't normally think you could. Therefore, it turns out that most are fully bolted face and slab routes, largely established in ground-up-on-lead style. While many of them top out on the saddle, a few adventure to the summit. Some old and very obscure aid route exists as well as some newer trad climbs. The saddle is simply an awesome place and picnic paradise. From here, you can top out on the summit via one of the routes on Velcro Wall, the low angled slabs on the south face.
Descents
Per Ellen S: Jacob's Ladder can be rapped with a 70m rope and some painful but doable down-bushwhacking. It cannot be rapped with one 60m rope. The rap anchors for Jacob's Ladder were somewhere in the vicinity of GPS coordinates: 39.18947, -105.33133. If I recall correctly, they were the 3rd-from-climber's-left of 3 sets of rap anchors that we found in that area.
Cloak of the Wolf and Ankar Gate can apparently also be rapped with 2 60s, but I have no firsthand experience with that.
