Northeast Summit Route; Point 9,242

Pitch 1, 5.7.

This is the crux of the route. Locate a moderate crack with some thorny bushes at the base. Climb the crack as it widens to a slippery off-width (a #4 protects this well) to a ledge with a very large dead tree. Belay from the tree,

70 feet.

Coil the rope, and continue scrambling up the least resistance for a few hundred feet (Class 2-4).

Pitch 2, 5.4.

Locate and climb an angling crack with some bushes up a ramp leading to a small ledge just below the summit. From the ledge, traverse right to the summit (class 3),

90 feet.

Descent

Rappel from a boulder near the summit to the base of pitch 2. Scramble down to the top of pitch 1, and then rappel from the large dead tree to the ground. A single 60m rope will suffice.

It is on the Northeast side of the formation.

A single rack BD C4 #0.75-4.
