Description
P1 is either a scramble or a short pitch, depending on the comfort of climbers with an initial low 5th class move, head up and right from the initial belay, and ends at some scrubby trees. P2 heads directly up toward another tree, but it's preferable to attain the ridge in another 10 feet and then belay from one of the large boulders. Trending climber's left is easier. P2 can also be extended just a bit to the start of the boot path to the summit. (There will probably be an obvious rappel station; the boot path starts just above a low-angle slab.) Unrope and walk to the summit but be mindful of exposure. There is a climbing register. Rappel the climbing route.
