Alpine
Description:
The route ascends an obvious feature – ‘The Rocket’ – on the right side of the bluff. Immaculate rock, few options, small gear protection, and the top three pitches are sustained grade 20 climbing.

Could be worth the long hike
Could be worth the long hike in for the final couple of pitches of climbing. Technical climbing on small positive feature; fantastic rock in an amazing position up on the 'Rocket'. Small pro essential as is a nut pick for cleaning out the odd placement.
