Regular Route

This is a great beginner's route.  Though it only has one bolt for protection, the difficulty eases as you approach the summit.

What an all star first ascent team!  Al Steck partnered with John Salathe on the first ascent of the North Face of Sentinel Rock in Yosemite, the now uber-classic Steck-Salathe. Joe Fitschen was on the second ascent of the Nose of El Capitan with Royal Robbins, Chuck Pratt and Tom Frost.  Steve Roper wrote the Yosemite guidebook for many years. Andy Lichtman was on the team which made the FFA of the Salathe Route on Half Dome.  If these studs had fun climbing a 5.2, you should be able to as well!

Start climbing at the lowest point of the pinnacle on the north side.

One protection bolt to a two-bolt anchor with chains for rappel.
