Top Rope Routes on "North"/"West" Face

3 short routes, coupled with alternate starts and variants, on the "North Face" are usually top-roped from the bolts. (Although the furthest left crack may have been FA'd on a late 1960's AMC "upcountry" trip).Rap from the bolts [see NOTE !] at the top of the North Face, 60 ft down to a ledge with a pine tree. By placing directional gear in cracks near the top, at least 3 or 4 routes can be safely top-roped, one of which (not sure exactly which one) seems to include some of the climbing on the "Left Variant". See Sketch-Topo PHOTO.To get to the left most of the 3 climbs, and the 5.7 start to the middle (5.8) "crack" chimney/climb up 6-8ft to the "next level" on the ramp after the rap down.NOTE: In 2019 a new bolt (SS 3/8) was installed in solid rock and the old bolt, which was in hollow-sounding rock removed.  The anchor at the top of the “NW Face” now consists of this new 3/8 inch SS and the old 1/2 inch bolt.

On the "North" / "West" side of the "Head"

Slings for bolts, TCU's or nuts to back up the older bolt; mostly medium-sized cams for directionals.
