Trip Description

This route is rarely climbed so there is not a lot of information online.

From rockclimbing.com
"A long buttress on the northeast side of the mountain. Cruxy climbing on the lower third leads to a ledge. Above the ledge scramble on the left side of the crest through a tunnel in the thick bush then climb right on the arete to a fun move off a giant perched boulder and on to the summit."

Another online sight stated it's 10 pitches of mostly scrambling with some 5.4 moves... so we'll take some technical climbing gear just to be sure.  We'll descent via the standard route.

I'd estimate the car-to-car time will be 10-12 hours... so we'll meet reasonably early, at 6am, to get the most of the day-light.
