Description
The FA was done on a very cold, windy day and for the sake of expediency, the party pulled on a bolt at the crux to reach the top and get back to warmth. Before the party could return to free the aided move, face climbing master Bob Gaines repeated the route and unwittingly grabbing the FFA.
This face route starts from a boulder about 30 feet up and left of Early Bird. The route climbs the long, mostly varnished face past about seven bolts.
