Description:
Wonderful beginner's route for multi-pitch trad climbing. 4th pitch up to Traffic Jam Chimney is the crux. Mainly a hike to the summit after that. Exposed scramble to the summit.Descent Options:
1 Rappel with two ropes (60-70m) from Traffic Jam Chimney. Set your knot and your ropes to the outside of the big pine tree to avoid getting your ropes stuck.

Always wanted to do it
And I finally had an excuse to when we got our ropes stuck after a Traffic Jam Rappel. Would be interesting to see if you could summit from the parking lot and get back down in under 30 minutes.
