11180 in the LCW - Class rating

[TeresaGergen]

Craig Patterson has a TR on FourteenerWorld from several years ago describing a Class 3 gully to the overall summit area of this rocky peak. I climbed this gully last weekend and agree with the Class 3 rating.

From the top of the gully, you move to the SW to reach what appears to be the highest area of rock (although Craig wasn't sure and I didn't have a handlevel). The register and cairn is there. To get up onto that rock requires a single difficult move. Being both short and gimpy, I was not sure what to rate that move -- Class 3 or Class 4. I think the peak could be reclassed to one or the other. What do others who have climbed it think about that last move?

Changed it to 4th class. I didn't see a need for a rope and we did not use one - forgot to go back and downgrade it.
