Variation from Original Route
3rd-4th Pitch- 200’- 5.8+/ This is the payoff pitch. Continue up a short crack and mantle to the next large ledge. It would be best to not place pro here if you want to go the distance without serious rope drag. Toss your ropes to the left and start up the fantastic brown rock arête. Clip approximately seven bolts which you can supplement with some gear if you want (.75”) and make stellar arête move after move, left and right and left again, following the bolts to just below Humerus ledge where you can build a semi hanging belay.
