There are so many ways you can traverse this ridge. I doubt it has been done the same way by any two groups. This report should give you a general flavor for what to expect. Go in with the expectation that you will be constantly navigating and climbing/down climbing exposed pitches in the class 4 / low 5 range. The ridge is chock full of amazing features that will get your attention at every turn. If this kinda thing is your jam, you will remember it as a classic! For the most part we stuck to the ridge... the rock was solid coast to coast!

Twelve miles and 5300ft on technical terrain make for a sizable day trip. If you have the time consider spending a day or two in this drainage and tackle some of the other classic objectives in the zone.
