On the approach, watch out for crypto and yucca. Begin scrambling up the narrow north ridge of 6,776 (class 3) to a wide bench before a steep headwall. Locate a slab with a crack near the right side of the headwall. Climb up this crack/slab for 30 feet to easier terrain (5.6). Be careful of some soft sandstone through this section but luckily the gear is good. Continue through a maze of large blocks, with a short awkward mantle in the middle of the maze, to the true summit (class 4).

We did not place the 3 “bolt” anchor. Bring fresh webbing and rappel 45’ back to the bench. It should be noted that the “bolts” are Hilti screws and should be upgraded to proper 5 piece sleeve bolts.
