Working on goals for next season.. Anyone climbed this ? Secor describes it as five pitches from 4th to 5.7 on 'perfect rock'. |

A buddy of mine climbed this a few years ago and said it is outstanding. Outstanding scenery in this region. Highly recommended |
|
Awesome. Any pics or other info ? |

here's a shot of the south face with that couloir at the very very top... sorry Rob, not really what you asked originally but... at least you can see all the way to the top of the crest |
