Description

Start under the north west face of the pinnacle. On the right side of this is a shallow gully/corner with a small pine tree about 100 ft up. This is the first pitch, climb through an initial bulge fixed pin, then up easy stemming and gear to the belay, two bolts next to tree. From here, step left in rising traverse heading to the left arête of buttress, slab climbing past two pins and two bolts. Two bolt belay. Move awkwardly off belay then up to a step in the ridge and a bolt. Move right and up a flake system with some gear to another two bolt belay. Last pitch moves up onto the final saw toothed arête, moving carefully over loose terrain, there is another two bolt anchor in a notch on the left side of this ridge. This is an alpine rock climb that has loose rock on it. I cleaned a lot off it during the first few ascents but be aware of it and wear a helmet!

Location

Rap with a single 70m or doubles. Initially rap down the gully directly below the 4th anchor, but move right at the step in ridge to gain third anchor, then down the line. You can also rap directly to ground from second anchor but requires some down scrambling from end of rope.

Protection

There are fixed bolts , anchors and some pins, you will also require a rack up to #2 camalot, wires and alpine slings included.
