Route Info

Start just to the right of the bivouac at the base of the split rock. Climb the column and avoid stepping onto solid ground. Continue up and find a small arete. Mount that upwards and then traverse right. Again, avoid standing up and pass another bivouac spot. Move right and find an overhanging double arete, the crux of the route. shimmy up this to a good rest, then transition right, again to avoid standing up. Continue up to small arete with good feet hidden in the leaves at the top. From here it's very easy to top out.

Most of this route is 5a climbing, but the crux required buffs, for me. I was unable to do it with just chalk spam.

I really enjoy longer routes and this has a lot of fun variation of moves and transitions.
