Description
Approach was (originally and subsequently) done by climbing the se route to summit of East Fury then descending north and down to near the base of the ridge.
Originally climbed rope and free solo, this remote climb has several large gendarmes and knife edge sections. The cruxes are: getting on the ridge itself, Tower 3, and the Rooster Comb section near the end.There are also many rappels down the other side of these obstacles.
Descent was done by traversing from west Fury summit to East Fury summit, then back out Access creek.
