Up the Down Staircase

Climbs up most of the East Face rappel route.

Originally we thought this was a great place for a rap route, because it was steep and blank,

so it would not interfere with any potential climbs.

But then we saw a line of holds connecting across the blank sections....

So we went back and climbed it.

Loose rock on the first pitch and start of the second detracts a bit.

One party reported a loose flake near the end of pitch 8.

Starts about 400' up and left from the start of the East Buttress.

Standard rack to hand size, with extra small nuts and cams for pitch 2.
