Great climbing up on the pinnacle itself, if you survive the choss at the bottom. Originally this required squirming up the soft overhang on the front of the pinnacle, then heading right. It’s more direct to climb the equally soft crack on the left side of the Sister Europe alcove.

Climb up and left to the outrageous offwidth, protected by a mixture of gear, bolts and body parts.
