Fun Scramble / Climb
One of the best summit blocks I've been on. The best?
Amazing views of the Palisades and great exposure!

Cold Night
I did this climb with my old friend Jim Gaines. It was a long climb (we were slow) and we ended up getting to the summit just before dark. We didn't know the way down and didn't want to wander off in the dark, so we did a bivy on the summit. I had my down parka and a pack that fit over my legs. Jim didn't have anything for his legs so we wrapped the rope around him like a cocoon. Lucky for us it wasn't a severe night and didn't get too cold. With the morning light we easily found the rappell spot and headed on down. A very memorable climb.
