9 Pitches: As you cross the stream at the base of along a grassy ledge (bit exposed but easy) until a small flat spot. On your left is a slightly vegetated corner the route starts here. Pitch one: head up this corner to arrive at a grassy ledge, then traverse right to double bolt belay. Follow up crack above for 60m to double bolt belay. Continue up right leaning crack, then straight up the right facing wall on your left to grassy ledge. Pull over small vertical step, then up slab to grassy bank. Continue up this for 30m to the base of some nice looking slabs. Up the slabs for 3 pitches, then keep heading for another three pitches until you reach the summit. Descent is by rappel on double bolt rings. There is one 70m rap 3rd abseil from the ground. Abseil 60m then make a belay in the right facing corner described in pitch 3. Belay your partner down 7m to the next double bolt belay station. The down climb is easy about grade 12. The upper three pitches of this route are not that good, but they give you a good adventure, if you are looking for one.
