  • Climbing
  • Intermediate Alpine
  • Adults
  • Intermediate Rock Climb
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 6.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,500 ft

This is a one day climb, we will pick the better of the two days based on weather. We will discuss gear logistics prior to the climb. I don’t expect crowds at this time in the year, but will consider Indentured Servant (5.10b) as a backup option if the route is backed up with other parties.

We will plan to ski to Pineapple Pass, so everyone should have access to a backcountry ski set up and be proficient in skiing steep terrain with variable snow conditions.
