P 12,019, East Face, Beartooth Range. On July 24 Wally Hunter and I made the first ascent of the east face of P 12,019 It is located at the end of Rock Creek between Glacier and Moon lakes. After 1½-mile approach, we climbed a snowfield to the base of the 1100-foot face. Several overhangs were encountered; the crux pitch was at the top of an open-book. For one rope-length we followed a moderate friction pitch to grassy ledges dividing the face in two. The route then led up a gully containing third and fourth class ledges to a point where we made a small traverse on a flake into a wide chimney, where we used several angle pitons for aid to avoid climbing through a waterfall. The summit was gained by veering slightly to the left to a notch in the summit plateau.
