Rope solo
The summit is pretty wild. Don't fall--there are jugs.

great route with great summit. my book rated it 10b
super good route that keeps you mostly in shade. fun moves throughout and descent pro. I was happy to have brought my C3s for the stem box. it's also a lot harder if you are short (ie 5 ft tall) my wife is flexible but could get the leverage to get it clean. also the top can be managed by lowering ur partner and then rapping the other side. I didnt think the downclimb was hard once I got my feet established.

Lonely Vigil
I agree with one of the comments below, probably underrated. Kind of a cool tower route, not a whole lot unlike Stolen Chimney, but not near as popular. The stem box was really a fun pitch. The summit is more scary to look at than actually do. No less stable than Ancient Art's summit block. That 3rd pitch is not 5.9, just 5th class up to the summit belay station.

Fun route. The crux stembox is really cool (and more like 10-, but whatever). The summit looks worse than it is but it's still pretty wild.

No anchors on the summit. Yikes!
