Description
This route ascents the middle of the east face of Mt. Barrill. Ascetically, the lines get 4 stars but poor rock quality diminishes the overall experience significantly. The climbing is burley, not too wet, and contains occasional decent splitter cracks interspersed between gravel. The topo in "Alaska Climbing" by Joseph Puyear is accurate but the start is now located above a large crevasse so use some creativity getting onto the rock. The climb has been freed at 5.11 but most parties attempting this should be very prepared to pull on gear. Descend via the Japanese Couloir.
