MapDescription
This is an outstanding trad route to a classic Colorado summit.
P1. Start in a right-facing dihedral with a clean handcrack to a small roof at 25 feet, 5.9. Best to traverse left some 50 feet up into a cool but blocky chimney. Belay on a nice ledge on the left, 120 feet.
P2. Do a great 5.10 finger/hand in a right-facing dihedral, then huff up the hand to OW 5.10-, #4 Camalot or bigger, then onto the summit block finish, 100 feet.
Scramble off to the east.
Location
This is the steep, main line dropping from the OW forming the Horseshead's east ear.
Protection
Standard to #4 cam with extra #3 cam.
