Description 

This is a worthy, off the beaten path aid route. Pitch one overhangs the whole way. Pitch 2 follows a bolt ladder (3/8" studs) to a roof and crack. The next 2 long pitches follow face cracks to the top of the vertical climbing. Above here, the quality of the climbing lessens. The FA party climbed many pitches from here to the top of Mt Majestic.

Location 

End of Emerald Pools area. Far left side of Mt. Majestic. Bushwack to the base from the trail. A thin striking crack marks the start.
