Beta photo. Locate the notch left of the summit. The route goes straight up to the notch from Broadway, starting in the shadow in this pic. At the notch, approach the summit via the south side of the ridge on 5.5 rock.

About midway in The Notch. June 15th, 2014.

Me belaying my friend Dave...although nothing would take pro, so really there was no point of rope, gear, or belaying haha.

On Broadway on a attempt of a winter ascent of the Notch Couloir.

Some friends scambling to the summit through the 'staircase.' We accessed this pitch via the 'Loft' into the west side of the Notch.
