Description This route shares part of the first pitch of Canadian Driftwood (aka The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance). Diagonal up that route to a ledge where a sharply left leaning dihedral goes up to a horizontal crack at a roof. Lieback the crack (5.10), hand traverse left and enter a flare with a hand crack in back. A short distance above is a nice ledge on the left. Continue up the straight in crack passing a small awkward roof (5.9+) and on to the top.
Protection Standard rack to 3"

| You could belay right after the hand traverse as the rope drag after the hand traverse is BAD. |
