  • Approach from summitpost: 
    • Start at the Blue Lake Trailhead then hike 1.25 miles towards the first clearing. From here follow the path that heads up to the west side of SEWS, the tallest and furthest right spire. Look up at the southwest side and notice the obvious wide 5.8 crack. Head towards the tree near the base.

  • Descend
    •  Downclimb the South Arete route until above the 5.4 chimney section. From here 2 single rope rappels will get you to the ground.
