Description 

15 years ago we summitted this thing after a failed stab at Mt. Hayden. We mostly just wanted to set up a Tyrol, ours was weak sauce but this would be a good place for it. The climbing is not hard but also not very well protected. We split it into 3 ridiculously short pitches in order to avoid a tricky traverse. The rock is sharp and very, very hot in the summer.

Location 

Find the separate spire southwest of the bridge on the south/east rim. Rap into the notch. 1st "pitch" is stemmy to a chimney. 2nd "pitch" was a walk around the ledge to avoid the lack of pro at top of "pitch" 1. 3rd "pitch" has some pockets for pro.

Protection 

2-4" cams, tricams are great for pockets. We left nuts and slings at the top, no bolts.
