Ascent of West Face Traverse by Fritz Devendorf

This rock has some great moderate face moves (a test for my limits), I would say classic despite the route described below. We set out to climb West Face Direct, but when I got to the cliff face about 15ft to the left and below the starting bolts of West Face Direct, I decided to try going straight up on some face and crack moves. I made it approximately 2/3rds the way up the face and crack when I was stopped by difficult move to get up to some knobs above me. I lowered and traversed over to the West Face Direct crack, traversed farther left, and set a belay on the West Face Travers ledge between West Face Direct and the West Face Traverse 1st pitch. We finished the climb on the 5.5 face of the West Face Traverse second pitch.
