McHenry’s Peak, Northeast Face. Dakers Gowans and I started on a right-facing corner up the center of the great spade-shaped buttress on the northeast face of McHenry’s Peak, heading for a thin vertical dihedral three pitches up. The dihedral and an interesting jamming pitch that broke through an upper headwall were the finest part of the 11-pitch climb on excellent granite. NCCS III, F8; nuts up to two inches.
