Curving crack. Four un necessary bolts lead to a single bolt belay and fixed carabiner. The crack protects well with offset and regular nuts, 2 x .5, 1 x 2, 1 x 3 camalot. Makes an excellent all natural protection route. Very enjoyable dry tooling or summer rock climb. The anchor could use a second bolt, and the bolts in the crack dont need to be there. Excellent natural protection.See pic below for wires used. |

Access by rappeling down Vertiginous to the lower snow field. Head north to pitch 1
Pitch 1: Head up the vegetated/offwidth corner before trending slightly rightward, mantling the small block and up the rock slab. Below in the crack below the chockstone.
Pitch 2: Climb the crack with the chockstone before cutting right, clipping a single bolt before heading upwards to the base of pitch 1 of Vertiginous. Belay at the base of the crack.
Pitch 3: Climb up pitch 1 of Vertiginous. Long moves between good hooks on strenuous feet up the crack and through a small overlap. To belay either use the existing trad anchor at the base of pitch 2 of Vertiginous, which has fallen down or cut right across the small foot ledge to belay on the double chain anchor. |

Follow the chimney, followed by some ice and a turfy corner.
A direct line. Follow a low angle left leaning corner, followed by a series of steep steps with good gear when needed.
A couple of steep steps. |
