Description 

This short climb is on the darker (not water-polished) section of wall before the obvious right-facing corner that is Scrooged (5.8). Start up a dirty left facing corner for a short ways to reach an obvious thin crack (10b) with a bush growing out of the top. Above this is a dike that angles up and left (5.9) past a couple bolts to a rap anchor. It is also possible to continue along the dike to a second anchor if you want to make the route a little longer. All bolts were replaced by the ASCA in 2011.

Protection 

A handfull of cams from micro to 1/2" and a set of stoppers.
