Description
This route climbs immediately right (north) of the Priest-Coupe couloir that divides Rexford from South Nesakwatch Spire. It is a fun 9-pitch rock climb, but requires a long snow slog to reach and is best done early in the season before the snow melts. Crampons and ice axes are required for the approach. Most of the climbing is 5.7, but there are a couple of short 5.9 sections that can be avoided. A very full day out, especially if descending west into Nesakwatch Creek and then returning to a vehicle parked in Centre Creek
