Description
Scramble up the 4th class ramp to the right of the huge cave at the base of the crag to a 2nd smaller cave directly above. Traverse 20 feet left to a rock horn above bushes and rope up here. The route links 2 more caves en route to the last pitch of the South Face route.
Per the Tucker/Steele guidebook, after roping up: "Face climb up and to the right of the horn. Proceed directly up to a narrow ledge which is followed out to the right. Protection here is poor. Approximately 20 feet right of a pocket, head up above a ledge into the 3rd cave. [belay here] From the 3rd cave, traverse left and up, around a large block. Easy climbing leads up a ramp to the right into the fourth and last cave. Traverse right about 20 feet. Climb up past a bulge by way of a small manzanita bush in a crack. Above this, follow easy cracks and slabs to the summit."
