Description:
A classic line on a classic peak. Much shorter than the neighboring E. Ridge. 8 pitches long, but with only 3 pitches of sustained climbing. This route can be climbed car to car in a day by a fast party with an early start. Great summit!! FA: Galen Rowell

Was planning on soloing this, but managed to hook up with some very cool dudes from Clear Lake. Great route.

Goes quicker than you think. Only three sustained pitches, lots of simu-climbing. Can be done car to car in a day. Crux is pitch 5, a sustained crack/chimney.
