Description
Nice crack climbing. Stupid tree. Work up the obvious crack with good jams to a stupid tree growing out of the crack. Either traverse right a few feet and face climb, or make a big move reaching past the tree to better jams. You will be immediately stuck by lightning if you use the tree for upward progress. Both paths lead to a stance below a wide flared crack. Protect (optional big cam) and jam up to jugs and a good ledge. Continue straight up to high anchors.
It is also possible to traverse left to the anchors of Bowline With A Blowjob Finish.
Location
A little right of where the approach trail meets the cliff. A small evergreen tree is growing out of the crack 40' off the deck. Left of a depression with opposing corners.
Protection
Singles to 3". A larger cam could be used but isn't a requirement. Bolt anchors.
