Description
The old Hill guide credits Dalen & Coats for the first ascent. Yet this team found fixed gear halfway up the initial dihedral indicating prior activity.
Be that as it may, the North Ridge is a good day outing especially as combined with other one-pitch climbs in the area, such as Estrellita, Donald Duck, Fire Hydrant. Begin climbing the dihedral then traverse right after placing large pro in the overhanging crack. At least one subsequent party has gone straight out this roof, raising the grade to 5.8+ or possibly 5.9. Wander up broken ground to the summit & walk off....
Location
Find the Fin as for Exhibition Wall. Route begins at the toe of the ridge, just off the La Luz Trail.
Protection
Fixed pin down low - may not be there any more. Otherwise full trad rack, including fist-size for the roof crack.
