Description

From main saddle, cl.3 northwest to col. Scramble northwest cl.4 up low-angled face to large ledge. There's a short, wide crack on the north face that goes to the summit. Rappel route could use some anchors. I've done this route twice and the first time found a Bandito hanger with no bolt laying on a rock.
