This crack beneath the summit has very good handholds and foot placements. (2019-10-06). Photo by Ben R. Click here for larger-size photo.

The cute to the pass is to the right of the white rock face and just left of the diagonal white vein on the right. Aim for the lowest spot. The chute, and "bolder problem" will be tucked in there, a bit hidden, and raise up to the right. (2022-08-16). Photo by Jamie Florio. Click here for larger-size photo.

"Bolder Problem" - We actually chose to squeeze under and behind the bolder instead of climbing over. Easy Peezy. (2022-08-16). Photo by Jamie Florio. Click here for larger-size photo.

The Bolder Problem: We chose to squeeze under and behind the rock to get up on top. (The dark hole to the right) We just passed our packs up to each other. The chute is about 20-25 ft in total. The other option on the left seems potentially doable as well. (2022-08-16). Photo by Jamie Florio. Click here for larger-size photo.

Airy Traverse Start up the chute on the right, and then make your way over. Be happy! :) (2022-08-16). Photo by Jamie Florio. Click here for larger-size photo.
