Location Suggest change

See area-description. Start at the obvious rightfacing dihedral in the middle of the southern Rabbit Ear.
Descent: when just below the summit block, walk around and descent through the gully, some third class scrambling, two rappels possible to avoid harder downclimbing.

Protection Suggest change

Gear to 4". Some tcu's come in handy at the crux. Gear anchors.
