Description Suggest change

P1 - 5.7, 30+ feet: Once above the 15 or 20 foot crack, head mostly up while trending left to below a bulge with a kind of hard-to-see button-head bolt - more like a large boulder. Unlock the rightward moves above the bolt/bulge (5.7), then continue up past the very short evergreen tree, reaching a nice, flat, large-ish belay ledge about 30 feet above the tree. Roughly 3/4 inch gear for the anchor.

P2 - 5.7, 30+ feet: Head up on easy terrain to a bit below the left side of the roof. Follow cracks up and rightward to the approximate middle of the roof. Traverse right (5.7) and then up out from under the roof on thin pro. Continue up to the top. Can encircle the summit’s boulder pile with rope for anchor.

P2 Var - 5.7, 30+ feet: This is probably the better of the two ways to finish, especially if a party is  there to climb Lost Ledge as well. Thanks to kevinnlong for commenting about it.

Head slightly to the climber's left from the big ledge area. Make your way up through a minor trough minimizing use of large stacked blocks just on your left. Continue up the trough passing a prominant 10 foot right facing flake, avoiding it by staying right a few feet. Just below some overhanging features, traverse right about 5 feet on good rock and then head up to the top.

Location Suggest change

Start at the base clockwise from North Ridge, hiking around a corner and up dirt about 20 feet.  The route begins straight up a very clean ~one inch crack that is about 15 or 20 feet tall; see the below photo for the locations of the start and the hard-to-see bolt.

Start of P1 is marked, as well as the location of the hard-to-see bolt.

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack.
