Description
Good climbing for a 9. This is a really fun route and the view is amazing. The crux comes just after clipping the third bolt. Another hard section to clip the second bolt above the huge rest ledge. Can be done in two pitches to reduce rope drag. Climb to giant rest ledge, belay the second up, then climb the second pitch. Usually done in one pitch though.
Can top out to a second set of anchors also. It is a bit run out from the firs set to the second set and the climbing doesn't ease up much.
Location
This route ascends the arete on the front of the main pinnacle. 5.9 R to the top if you wish to top the route out.
Protection
Sport line but some of the bolts are pretty loose and spiny. Huge runout on super easy terrain at the rest ledge thus the reason for the PG13.
Has been rebolted with glue-ins.
