Description

Crux is at the bottom, but there are a few interesting moves breaking the mini-hang. Casual, fun climbing after that. Climb up the (often dirty) left-rising crack to reach good holds to its right, mantle onto these and break the mini-hang another left-rising crack. Climb directly up the face, eschewing all possible early escapes, to top out at its apex.

Location

Right side of the bottom of a steep dirt cone below and right of the Little Gem Diner wall. Look for a left-rising vertical crack starting near ground level, becoming a dirty offwidth where it reaches a small overhang 15' up. There is a birch tree to climber's right of the top-out, but rappelling off this will kill it. There is a downclimbable ramp a bit farther downhill.

Protection

Standard Adk. Trad Rack. Permanent anchor shared with Bogus Dent.  Easy to set up top-rope, but build an anchor from it to save the chains/quick links.
