Description 

Start from ground to roof is kinda hard, route goes up then right to easier ground. Trend back left mostly. Follow cracks to large pine tree on ledge 160' above. Lots of face climbing with occasional crack moves/pro. Very clean with occasional steep sections but it's mostly vertical.

Location 

Walk along main wall ledge 100yds past Indecent Exposure's overhang to the next overhang and start on it's far side. Look for the pine tree on the ledge 160' above, keep heading for it when climbing. Single 60m rope and two raps, second rap on tower above arete.

Protection 

Very thin pro (nuts/tcu) to #4 camalot; 12 long runners would help rope drag; bolted anchor.
