Description
Face climbing leads into the crack which varies from fingers to hands (crux) and then ends about 2/3 of the way up the face. After the crack ends move up and right on huge plates (5.6) to the ledge Enchanted Stairway ends on.
- To descend head east towards Thrutcher Dome through a notch to reach rap anchors above the shorter east face - one rope easily makes it down.
A superb route which combines some fun crack climbing with runout but exhilarating face climbing, all in a semi-remote setting.
