Description
The route climbs the left side of the prominant flying buttress at the top of the main Alpine Lite cliffs. Climb the lower right side of the main wall in a few easy pitches. There are easy lines to be had towards the right side and likely some more enjoyable lines to be had further left. Either way, gain the ledge at the base of the flying buttress.
Climb the left face of the flying buttress on thin, discontinuous cracks left of the sharp arete. Eventually gain a right-facing corner and continue up to a belay (150 feet, 5.10+).
Climb up and right, gaining the north face and some fantastic climbing, and continuing to the top of the flying buttress (150 feet, 5.9).
