First two pitches of the...
First two pitches of the Soutwest Corner Route shown in the photo. Pitch 1 goes up the slabs (many options exist here from about class 4 to 5.4 or so) and into the class 3 gully terminating directly below the huge chockstone (bet. NEWS and SEWS, on right); pitch 2 (crux) goes up to the left of the chockstone (5.6) and then traverses back onto the top of the chockstone via a 5.7 face ("bolted" with very old pitons); pitch 3 is class 3 and terminates further up the gully below another (smaller chockstone); pitch 4 moves left and up easy terrain (c. 5.4) starting about 20 feet below the upper chockstone and tops out on this upper chockstone (top of the NEWS-SEWS notch); pitch 5 climbs about 190 feet straight up and left (or north) from the notch on easy terrain (low 5th) and terminates when you run out of rope; pitch 6 heads up easy chimneys (up to 5.6 moves depending on variation) and tops out on low angle friction slabs just below the summit. Photo taken October 4, 2003.

Jim,

you'd definitely enjoy this route. I think it's a way nicer summit than SEWS and even nicer than Liberty Bell.
