Description

Do the same steep, jug-haul start as Old Timey Climb that trends right to an inside-corner stance. Carefully reach around the sharp arete formed by the protruding block about 15' off the ground. Step across (and down) onto the lower, slabby face (the crux). Then climb up the center of the far-right slab using friction moves. Trend right up a shallow, gully-type crack that leads to two pine trees (set a top rope anchor here).

You can avoid the far-right corner to enjoy some friction moves up the slab section.

Location

This is on the right side of The Overlook positioned between the distinguishable body-jam route, One Step Beyond, and the descent gully (farthest right). Look for the protruding jugs that tend right and toward an inside corner formed by a 5' tall protruding block (with a sharp arete) about 15' off the ground.

Protection

Stoppers & cams up to 1.5", but it is difficult to protect the crux to avoid groundfall. A toprope is recommended (using two pine trees for an anchor).
