Description
This route is just right (as seen from below) of the rappel. Its first 25 feet ascend a broken, nearly overhanging section below a crack. After that, you move into a fist wide crack that quickly expands into offwidth.
The crux comes some 40 feet off the ground and involves climbing and mostly exiting some 10 feet of offwidth onto the ledge just below the summit blocks.
Descent - rappel North from slings. Bring a 10 foot sling.
Per akanatokiek: update: a two bolt rappel anchor on the northwest corner of the summit block. An overhanging rappel will get you easily to the ground with a single 60m rope.
