2 successful ascents recorded.
| Climber | Style | Ascent Date | Suggested Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Todd Skinner First ascent. Pre-placed gear. | Lead | worked | 1985 | |
|
A controversial ascent at the time as Skinner abseiled the route to pre-place pins for protection then practiced the moves by dogging up the route, a practice which was frowned upon by the Yosemite crowd of the time. |

| Alan Watts First ascent. Belayed by Jeff Smoot. 2 sessions. | Lead | worked | Sep 1986 | |
|
Finishing at a slightly higher anchor than Todd Skinner. |
