This is a 3 pitch climbinging route that ascends the large dihedral to the right of the U-Notch. The Secor book describes it in one sentence: three pitches, 5.8, chimney and crack. We climbed this route early in July of 2012. If you're more a rock climber than moutaineer this is a great alternative to the U-Notch. However, the rock is loose, but that just adds to the overall adventure of the climb.

Thanks so much for writing a TR of that!!! I think I remember an early Ascent where ???? did a little story on that, but I could be totally wrong. Lito Tejada-Flores?

Thanks! Cool to shake it up with lesser done stuff! I like the steep snow pics too.
Re Anchor #2: Were you packing light on the rack or was everything else too loose?
