Description

(Several variations possible) Move up a mini-buttress via broken cracks on licheny rock. There's a few moves that would be easier if brushed, but the dirtiness makes it 5.7 instead of 5.6. Has an adventurous feel with several blocky 5-easy sections breaking up the actual climbing. Build and an anchor where near the top of the gully, belay up your second, and scramble around to the base.

Location

Look for the absolute rightmost arm/buttress of the Hobo formation, just uphill from a ponderosa pine with a burnt base.

Protection

Gear to 3", bring a BD #4 if you've got it. Save some for a gear anchor up top.
