East fork of Behunin

[Bootboy]

Has anyone done what may accurately be described as the east fork of Behinin from the top of Mt Majestic? This fork would meet with the trade route at the bottom of rap 5 or 6, whichever one puts you into the swim off the rotten log Just curious and looking for opportunities to explore. Any info would be great. PM me.

I've looked at it. Called it the Real Behunin. But from up there, the start looks like a couple rappels to a very long rappel (400' to 600' range). There's a fair picture of it here:

There's also the "Original Route" which apparently tried to avoid as many rappels as possible. I've been meaning to try it, but haven't gotten around to it yet:

This second report from 1978 also takes the "ridge" route:
