Fun, engaging climbing. Much like the other routes around here, the meat is in the first two pitches and the potatoes take you to the top. Climbs the left side of the buttress that juts out before the ridge that separates the south and west face. Alejandro etc. etc. climbs the right side of this buttress.
- P1
- Mixed M5
Blocky bits lead to the base of an obvious corner.
- P2
- Mixed M5
Stem and hook your way through the corner (crux) topping our on a sweeping right tending snow ramp.
- P3
- Mixed M4
Continue up pitches 3–7, keeping left to gain a subtle ridge passing several steps of M4 between moderate ground. Simul-climbing will speed things up. Keeps it coming until the top!
