Description

Night Vision starts just left of Huston Crack, by a tree next to the rock, just left of the arete.

P1: Make balancy moves up to the first bolt (unprotected, or desperate #2 stopper/small RP about 8' up) and then continue on to clipping 2nd over the slabby bulge. Continue on easy ground to the top of a large block (watch rope drag) at the base of a headwall with 2 bolts and 2 fixed pins. Belay here.

P2: Go straight up the headwall, through a nice undercling (optional #3 Camalot) and clip one of the fixed pins (or both). Once here, move out onto the face/arete passing 2 bolts to an alcove at the top of the arete.

P3: Continue up and right via a crack to the summit (5.7).

A great route, with crux(es) protected by bolts. Note: You can also rap off at the end of the second pitch; there are many slings with rap rings (backing these up is suggested).

Protection

Stoppers, Cams (optional #3 Camalot), a few QDs for a couple bolts. All natural anchors, medium cams.
