"You know that you're over the hill. When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill". - Paul Barrere (performed by Little Feat)

Climb the knobby face a few feet to the right of the rightward arching flake or, alternatively, quasi-lieback up the flake itself on low-angle friction for approximately 30’ - 40'. At the top of the flake traverse, on easy friction, diagonally leftward for about 40'or so, passing below a series of small, downward-facing ledges to access a second robust, rightward-facing flake. Climb the face to the right of the flake to its terminus for about 50'. From here there is an obvious line of knobs and plates surrounding a prominent groove, leading upward past a series of small, leftward-facing flakes for about 75' to a smallish, round boulder with a half-dead shrub and into a boulder filled gully. 3rd-class the gully until it exits a short distance below the summit. Either continue to the top (it's a stroll) or scramble around to the left and then down the brushy, boulder-strewn flank to descend.

From the main trail going up to Dome Park, at the base of Waterfall Dome, where you can see "The Stain", 4th class (?) up to a decent-sized, very flat, sandy ledge where “The Stain” proper begins to steepen. From there traverse left, and angling slightly upward to a very robust, rightward arching flake with a chickenhead studded face a few feet to its right. Begin here.
