Description 

This route shares part of the first pitch of 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.
