Description
From the tree anchor, move left up the slope to an obvious open book with a crack in the back. Climb up this, exiting out right (crux) near the top and then up to the main ledge along the ridgeline of the North Peak East Face. There are a couple of good spots at the top to make a belay.
To descend, either walk off to the north towards the Observation Deck or move south just a bit and find the rappel tree at the top of Desperado.
Although short, it's a decent line and feels more like you're climbing granite. If you're in the area and looking for something off the beaten path, this is a decent option. Difficulty was seriously undergraded in previous guidebook editions.
Location
Climb Exposition Gully to the top of the first pitch (the main gully/corner) and a tree belay. Question Mark starts here.
Protection
A standard trad rack should suffice...nothing larger than 3" needed.
