Publication Year: 1976.

Mount Conness, West Face, Rosy Crown Route. In June 1974, Gary Colliver and I put up a new route starting 300 feet to the right of the Harding route. We climbed free for a full 150 feet. The second pitch went free until the crack became shallow. We passed a roof with aid and then climbed free to a loose-looking flake. From here the path of least resistance (F9) and 8 more pitches led to the summit. NCCS IV, F9, A2.
