P3 Continue up the dihedral system and move left to another dihedral after it runs out. Climb the second steep dihedral to a good ledge. 190 feet, 5.4
P4 Climb the dihedral until it is possible to move left across a slab. Climb up to a huge ledge with lots of loose rock. 120 feet, 5.5
P5 Climb easy rock to the ridgeline. Many lines possible from 5.2 to 5.7 80 feet, 5.2
To descend, either walk left or right on the trail just below the crest of the ridge. Left brings you to Mt Evans summit, where it is easy to thumb a ride to Summit Lake. Right goes up and over Mt Spauling on a good trail back to Summit Lake. It is also possible to descend scree and talus right of the third apron to the bae of the route, but it isn't recommended.
