Description

This is another neglected classic which is found on the left side of the

Dairy Queen Wall

. Once at the base of the cliff climb the excellent

Leap Year Flake

or

Leap Erickson

as an approach pitch. Once atop these routes you'll be under a large overhang capping a right facing corner which is the route.

The undercling/layback just off the start is the crux, and after the first 30 feet of climbing, you have to go up and around the roof which is easier, but a bit scary. An excellent stopper placement is here. Excellent rock and convenient rap anchor. Toproping is out of the question due to the huge rope drag; someone will have to second the leader to clean the gear. Pulling the rope after the rap is a bit tricky, pull to the far left.

Protection

Small to medium cams, one large stopper is really helpful on the slabby part of the crack above roof.
