Good climbing on a strong line, building to a thrilling finish! The tower that supports The Horn has at its base a rounded rib. Steeply pull onto the rib and climb to the base of the prominent corner crack. Follow the crack up to the huge roof, traverse left, and make a difficult and exposed pull around the nose (crux) to gain easy ground above. Belay at the large tree atop a mossy slope.

βeta: Psyched myself out on this route. Got major disco leg under the roof and panicked my way to the middle. Proceeded to tell my belayer to "ssshhhh" when he was trying to point out I'd Z clipped. Thankfully managed to regain abit of composure and successfully fist jam my way around the nose. In hindsight an awesome route, at the time was fight or flight | βeta? | |
