Description

This climb starts high on the rock, and is about ten feet to the left of the crux pitch of Traitor Horn. Climb the easy initial pitch or two of Traitor Horn. Then climb up into the alcove and ascend the crack on the left side. It widens from #3 friend to #4 or #4.5 friend size. Lieback up the vertical crack for about twelve feet to where the crack steepens. Continue to lieback and undercling (exciting) up to the lip, and exit to easy ground and a belay. Easy fifth class friction leads to the top.
