There is a large boulder on climbers right as you top out this route. It's not teetering or anything, but we will move it further back on the summit or trundle it in the next week or so. I (and others) have carefully used it w/out issue, and it is easy to avoid as well. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Edit - 24 Nov 2009 - Geir and I determined the boulder was pretty secure and not easily displaced. Instead of trundling, we stabilized it; it's not going anywhere without the extensive effort of multiple people!

Also note - we improved the descent on this route. It is now just a single line from the northeast corner of the pinnacle back down the route.
