Getting There
Same as other route, but branch off and head west much sooner.

Loose, broken basalt. Helmets necessary. 5.2R with fixed pins and a few bolts. There is a rappel station for this gully separate of the rappel station for the North Face.
Essential Gear
Helmets. 2-50m ropes for rappel. Pitons/small gear.
I've been told there are drilled bolts for a rap anchor on this route. If not, you can rappel the NE face using 2 50m ropes.
