Description Suggest change

The route is fairly obvious and aims towards a prominent chimney several pitches up the face. Entering the chimney is the first crux of the route and is UIAA Grade V+, or Yosemite Decimal System 5.7/5.8. As one ascends the ever narrowing face, the options are decreasing, until the crest of the arete is reached. Stay left towards the top of the route. The rock is decently solid, and opportunities for protection are also good. The descent is a walk off and ramble downhill from the col to parking area.

Location Suggest change

The route begins at the far right of the triangular face and traverses an easy ledge towards the center of the formation

Protection Suggest change

Mostly fixed protection; bring a light rack and extra runners.
