Description:
Start up some kooky slab nonsense west of the South Face, reached by walking around the back of the Witch. There is a 5.9 runout at the top of the first pitch, don't blow it or you'll get hurt. The second pitch (IIRC) involves wild grabbing at flakes and such, and then it's an obvious line to the top. Huge cold shuts, 2 ropes to rap. Can pop over the summit block and rap off of anchors for the Howling instead. Buy a guidebook already ;-)

2 ropes to rap; can escape climb after 2nd pitch out right; A0 ladder goes free at 10b/c on last pitch; rap the Howling from the summit; be careful not to get ropes caught behind flakes when pulling atop the first pitch of the Howling!

I don't like the bata on this one as it started with a nice hands to fist crack then to the slabby section that has a bolt just before the crux which is a no hands and smearing feet move up!
