58m, 2 pitches.
Up the beautiful flat face of the Eagle Claw Buttress, following and using the obvious (sometimes ugly) exfoliating flake system. First pitch is about 28m to anchors and a good stance (crux 7a). Second pitch goes up to and through a roof, then angles a bit left across the upper face to the anchors and a hanging belay (6c). To exit: belay each other directly to the right a few meters and escape onto solid ground. Or use TWO 60m ropes and rappel from the top anchors.
NOTES:
(1) You CANNOT reach the first anchor by rapping from the top anchor -- it will leave you a few meters away from the wall. You MUST use two ropes to reach the ground from the top anchor.
(2) Beware, there is the possibility to find a fair amount of loose rock on the climb. Belayer should be sheltered and helmeted.
(3) The climb goes in one pitch (FA: Carter Mandrik, 10 Oct 2015), but rope drag above the roof is a major ... drag.
