See the above to get to the base of the climb. When you reach the base of the climb, angle up to a triangular rock formation on the main west face of the route. The start of the route takes a class 4 scramble on the left side of the triangle.

Route Description

Supertopo has an accurate description of the route. It is a VERY fun must do route

p1: from the scramble angle right up an obvious ramp/crack until reaching a small stance (5.6ish)
p2 (pitches 2 and 3 in the guidebook can be combined with a 60m rope to reach the base of the major dihedral system. Angle right up through cracks with acceptable pro reaching the dihedral system. Belay at the base of the dihedral system with a black diamond 0.5 and 0.75 camalot. 5.8

Climbing at the start of pitch 2

p3 (p4 in the guidebook) Known as the Red Dihedral pitch for obvious resasons. A long pitch (~120ft) of moderate difficulty (5.10a) up the dihedral. Use many cams of the same range (black diamond 1.0 and 2.0 camalots) leads to an overlap taking smaller cams (black diamond 0.3 microcamalots) then pull up high on the overlap and step right to a belay (guidebook suggests small stoppers-bad; or black diamond 3.0 and 3.5 camalots).
p4 (with a 60m rope run the next two pitches in the guidebook) step right reaching a crack which is taken straight up for 150-160ft reaching a stance at the base of an wall with a splitter crack above) 5.9
p5 take the splitter crack (0.5 to 0.75 blackdiamond camalot jr size) straight up to its end and continue. Continue straight up till you reach a large stance with a pillar that is split 5.10a

Moving off the pillar belay ledge at the start of pitch 6

p6 step to the left of the pillar and follow the crack to the left of the pillar till a good stance. 5.9
