Description

This is a long, sustained ridge climb with moderate exposure. The majority of the route is easy 5th class with only a few areas of true 5.7 climbing. Its rock quality is marginal with some loose stuff especially towards the upper section.

Location

This ascends Mt. Crested Butte, looker's right of Banana Funnel and one ridge to looker's right of Guide's Ridge.

Protection

Nuts, small cams through #3 Camalot, lots of runners for slinging horns. A 40 meter rope worked out well. There are no anchors.
