Starr King can be gained by other than the traditional 5.3 route. To the right of the trad route you can see a very slightly raised
ridge, which has a slightly rougher surface. Take the rope around the shoulders, back up 20 or so feet on the opposite side of the saddle,
then run down across the saddle & up. Full tilt. You'll stall out just above the belay spot. Drop rope for the
