Description
This route is on the far left side of the upper tier of climbs. It is just to the right of the gully. Start by climbing an easy face beyond a series of horizontal cracks to a large flake not obvious from the ground. Traverse right a few feet to a off width left slanting crack. When the crack runs out, move right across the face on small foot holds until you reach the final dihedral for the final 15 feet to the top. There is one big tree about 10 feet back that can be used as an anchor. It's probably best to not use the small tree near the edge.
