Pedimental Journey

Start in the middle of the south face. Climb the crack to the top. The crack starts thin and stays that way, with a few wider pods. Note: most of the crack follows corners; Tomahawks designed for corners, especially the red ones, work great. Where the crack peters out, step left and mantel onto the summit and a 2-bolt anchor. Rock quality is surprisingly good (by GSENM standards, anyway!). With a few repeats, the pin scars will widen and the route should go clean in the future.

Descent: Rappel 80 feet from a 2-bolt anchor

The start is the splitter crack in the center of the south face and takes a direct line to the top. The tower is the largest and tallest summit of the serrated, east-west fin feature.

Pitons: We used about 20 Tomahawks and Krukonogi beaks, medium and large; 1 Specter; a handful of Lost Arrows and baby angles.

Nuts: a good selection of nuts from RPs to medium-large

Cams, 1 set from 1/2” to 6"
