Start in an obvious notch on the long west trending arete. A crack behind some trees quickly becomes rather difficult, signaling that you're on the right route. Easy climbing leads to a short, good looking crack, clearly visible from the start. After that you'll eventually end up on a fine ledge below the crux double cracks and dihedral. At the top of this steep section is the key downward traverse to a small whitebark pine.
