Description Suggest change

Beginning on the right side of the South Face, this route follows flakes, corners, and splitters up to the broad ledge halfway up the face. From here, walk leftward and begin the upper half of the face. The first pitch above the ledge heads up to the left side of the most prominent arete/pillar which is in the middle of upper face. After two more pitches, move rightward, and reach the summit via blocky ground to the right of the prominent chimney.

Location Suggest change

From the open valley below the Silver Horn's South face, follow open meadows up-valley, then work uphill over fairly open alpine terrain and goaty ledges.

Protection Suggest change

Standard alpine rack
