Northwest Face

P1: Friction climb up a slab trending left towards a tree. Climb above the tree, then traverse right aiming for the gully. Downclimb a move or two into the gully, then up the right side of the gully on good edges to a good ledge with trees. Pro is sparse, but the climbing is easy. 5.7 50m

P2: Climb up the right side of the flake/block, past a tree, and continue in the crack system through a layback and corner above. Good pro and solid rock. Belay on a small ledge by a cave 5.7+ 35m

P3: Continue trending left and following the good corner/slab system. Belay at another small treed ledge. 5.7 30m

P4: Keep traveling left from the belay and take the path of least resistance to surmount onto the Dance Platform. Pro is sparse through here. Keep heading left across the slab, turn a corner and continue up the open book on good stems. Belay at the top. 5.6 35m

From the top of P4 you can unrope if your comfortable and scramble a bit to the top.

There is a variation that continues upwards through a chimney system instead of traversing the Dance Platform. The topo for this variation is in the CAG, however the rock changes character and becomes friable and crumbly, so I will not describe it here.

I'm surprised this route doesn't get that much traffic. The climbing is all on good rock and sustained 5.7 throughout all of the pitches. An easy approach and good tree belays along with good gear make this great for newer climbers looking to hone their skills and avoid the crowds on the area's other moderates or experienced climbers looking for something a little different with low commitment.

Approach: From the pass, traverse to the north notch gully between Kangaroo Temple and Little Finger on a climbers trail. Ascend the gully and look for a faint trail that brakes off to the right about 200ft below the notch; if you have to start scrambling up/over boulders in the gully you've gone to far. Traverse and downclimb a bit to a flat "table like rock" and the start of the climb.

Descent: From the summit, look to the north. You should see the descent anchor there. Two 30m raps will get you down to a ledge you can easily scramble down from. You can make the notch proper in three raps if you don't want to scramble down easy terrain.

Single rack to 2 and a set of chocks. Pitches tend to wander, a few more long slings are recommended.  A 3 and 3.5 can be used, but are not necessary.
