Description
Starting at the small cave on the north face, climb up on juggy 5.8/5.9 terrain passing the first bolt at about 25 feet. Above this, the crux bulge awaits. Clip a second bolt and pull some awkward and strenuous moves on small holds over the overhang. Sustained thin climbing gets you through the next two bolts and to the base of the "4th class trough". Follow this dirty trough up and left and pull the final summit overhang on big holds.
