2 out of 5 stars Not So Happy JoY

Upon looking at this climb you think SWEET ASS DIHEDRAL! But for the grade it wasn't worth the sketchy descent. Top out on ridge that is sheer drop. Need to Traverse chossy rocks with drop to death if you slip. Then if you look carefully at what might be mistaken for a chipmunk you see a tiny cairn at the peak of another chossy scramble. Once over this peak there's a series of valleys and ridges where you will be ambushed by vicious blood hungry mosquitoes. (if you enter the grassy regions.) any ways you make your way down eventually and in conclusion the descent is much harder than the ascent. and longer...
