Description Suggest change

An updated description courtesy of Dan Ben-Horin, 12-19-2023:

Pitch 1: climb low-angle face past three bolts to short roof. Extend any gear you place under the roof. Pull the roof (5.7) to a two bolt anchor, and belay or continue up pitch 2, directly above.

Pitch 2: climb the crack up the west skyline arete until the rock steepens below a roof. The roof protects with a bolt and small gear in the crack. Pull the roof on a flared hand-jam (crux), and make easy moves to the bottom of the headwall. Use gear anchor for a belay (110 feet or 160 feet if combined with P1).

Pitch 3: climb 5.9 face past four bolts to the summit (30 feet) to a two bolt anchor.
