Gayley

A great intro to mountaineering for a competent trad leader (5.6, II, 10 pitches). The route has all the attributes of a big Sierra climb: exciting exposure on easy terrain, a deep notch, a knife-edge arete, route-finding near the top, traversing to the summit on loose 3rd class ledges, tricky descent (3rd), and finally a glacier traverse to get back to the base.
