Description

Climb a well featured right facing flake until it ends at a bulge, swing through and follow the face to the top. Fun moves on great rock with an amazing position.

Location

From the top of Eagle Point Buttress look west across the expansive south-facing second tier face. This is the climbers right most route on the "Dragon's Wing" ledge which has routes Blister in the Sun, Scared as a Virgin, Tinker's Toy, Quantum Mechanics and Cooler than kissing. You can't miss the obvious right facing flake feature in the middle of the wall. You can access the ledge by climbing up the first obvious dihedral climbers left of the start of Day Tripping. Alternatively from climbing up one can hike climbers left to a gully and bushwhack up and back right on to the ledge or  climb foxfire, or day tripping to top out the cliff then walk climbers left and rap off a suitable tree to the dragon's wing ledge.

Protection

Medium gear for the flake, some smaller stuff for horizontals near the top of the face. Single rack to 3'' with double 2'' and below plus nuts should be good Good gear the whole way, I wouldn't call this route PG-13
