Voted 10/10

To avoid making the traverse around 'the step' we chose to climb directly up the cliff band. The climb is steep but relatively short (±60 ft.). The 4th class crux is a 6-foot vertical band near the top of the step, which requires a high-stepping mantel. There are several good holds but the consequences of a fall would be very ugly. Above the step a 50-foot rightward traverse across a steep slope regains the route followed by traversing around the step.

Oh come on, the final rock pitch was quite a bit taller than me - it was more likely 10-13 ft.

	Hasn't voted	Feel free to - this is such a nice route I'd like to do as much as I can to contribute to the page. If you'd like the the route overview pic that I submitted to show up as a large image on the route page, set is as (img src="http://www.summitpost.com/images/132825.JPG" HEIGHT=?). Just replace the ( with < and ) with > for the proper tags. To set the size, just try out some different numbers in place of the ? for height (e.g. 400)
