Located on
The massive pillar on the north end of the west face: a series of towers.
Awesome! At the base of the pillar is a large roof. The orange wall below
this is split by a diagonal crack running R-L. Scramble/pitch to the grassy
ledge below this.
The first crux pitch could possibly be avoided by scooting up to the right of
the overhang and chimney to the base of the next tower.
Great looking walls on pitches 3, 5, and 6 (possibly grade 20/21?) could be
climbed instead of the easier arête.
