Your climb will begin directly below the Gendarme on the wast face. This climb can be 4-5 pitches depending on the line you take and the amount of rope drag. Note that this route is very dirty consisting of lichen, dead trees and loose rocks. The first 2 pitches are less exposed and as you continue the ridge will become narrower. You can decide to follow the ridge directly or traverse the west face making the climb more exposed and slightly more challenging. Belay ledges are pretty obvious on this route. Descend the route via an easy walk off and continue back along the crest back to Chimney Rock.

This climb has morning shade and afternoon sun.
