Shade in late summer afternoons. Page 132 in Randys guide as are all of Playhouse routes. Easy approach from parking lot right after Lost Horse turn off if going toward Hidden Valley from Jtree. The climb has some pretty good moves in the crux area that make it worth a shot. Many other easy to moderate climbs in the area. Great for beginning leaders or if you simply want to do some easier climbing with a relatively short approach.

Strictly Trad gear needed for climb and anchors. Small to medium cams/nuts/hexes/tricams. Any or all can be used.

Climbs a left-facing corner to crack in the center of the wall directly behind a pine tree. Not exceptional, but about as good as routes get at this wall.
Did this one today after passing this one many times. Not bad. Not great. Some fun moves. Able to run this out if you so choose.

Of the many routes on this formation, I actually found this one to be lacking. Avoid and send the others, especially practice rehearsal and psychogroove.
