Description
Trout's guide calls it three pitches, but we did it in two with a 60m stretched out all the way on the first.
P1 (8/9) - climb mostly easy terrain up gully to a nice ledge below the steep wide crack. The climbing gets better and harder the higher you get on this pitch. This is a full 60 meters.
P2 (10c) - climb up the nice wide crack to the top.
Rap off to the right.

Location
