Description Suggest change

P1 - A4 thin/nebulous, hooks
P2 - A3 in corner
P3 - A2 to bolt ladder
P4 - A3 thin in overhanging dihedral to bolt ladder
P5 - A3 bolt ladder to saddle anchor then two bolts to the top.

Location Suggest change

Middle of the face. Route goes to the lower sub-summit, not the true summit.The first 3.5 pitches are great, the rest is crap.

Protection Suggest change

Standard Mystery Towers nailing rack with some big cams, hooks, Peckers, Spectres, and tie-offs (many).

"Bolt ladder" means crappy drilled angles sticking 3/4 out of the hole (or more) and bolts eroded out 1 to 2 inches (or more). Stuff easily pulled out by hand. Bring a drill, a ton of tie-offs, and a sense of humor. Ours was the 2nd ascent of this route 19 years after the first. The erosion was astounding.
