Description
P1-5.10a. Begin high up on left side of the lower angle apron of rock that other routes in the area climb as their first pitch. Climbing straight up aiming towards an obvious system of flakes and a small pine tree. Place gear in a small lower flake and then take on some unprotected slabbing until arriving at large flake system. Surmount this and clip a bolt before heading straight up a darker water streak. Continue up and then clip another bolt that rejoins the original line. Finish up to a 2 bolt anchor.
P2-5.5. Head up and left on progressively easier terrain until you're able to spot a 2 bolt anchor on the left side of the rock face that parallels a row of pine trees. Hike to summit from here or rap back down with double ropes.
Be aware that like most north face routes the rock quality is questionable and has a gritty feel. This route also has a lot of lichen, moss, and general dirtiness, as well as loose flakes in a few spots. A brush and cool head recommended.
