Description

Some thoughtful moves. Some slippery dirt/leaves. Grabbing trees is "On", but not necessarily smart or safe.

Start under obvious high big overhang on left side of cliff. Diagonal Left up steep ramp. Just before reaching gap in ramp, see dagger rock at least 2 ft long pointing down. Up R side of dagger (crux).  Next up a slippery section, then slightly Left up thru broken notch (instead of slabby right). Above notch, Finish diagonal right on slabby rock to reach gentler ground.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
