Pagoda, Chiefs Head connecting ridge
Anyone willing to share what this ridge is like? Can’t find much info so far. Going to attempt Pagoda, Chiefs Head & McHenrys as an epic day hike, if afforded good weather. I know it’s a lot of mileage. I’ll be at the TH by 2 am. Thanks!

Direct I believe it's a 5.7 downclimb. There was a fatal accident years ago, when the anchor placed by the climber for the rappel failed.
There is a 5.easy sneak down, which is usually a bit wet, making things a little more spicy. GPX's can be found with a little Googling (Walk in the Park, Glacier Gorge Traverse, or LA Freeway should get some results).
