1st Pitch- 35m- 5.10a/ For the most part, this is the first pitch of the West Face route. Start up a 5.8 flake to the right or 5.9 corner directly above. Continue up and left past a piton. Move right past a tree to an obvious left facing corner/finger crack. Despite having a ledge below it, this crack is easier than it looks. Reach up to a very positive hold towards the end and mantle up to the large ledge with the rap belay. Bring the 2nd up to this station before moving the belay further left to continue Crack Kingdom.
