Description 

This route is not listed on the topo sign at Big Rock, nor is it listed in any guidebooks that I know of. Because of the nature of the climb, and its proximity to Headwall, I call it False Headwall. It is about 10’ left of Headwall and just to the right of the Hard Trough. Easy slab climbing gains a large dish with a small vertical section. The crux is pulling out of the dish and is well-protected. Continue up through easy slab climbing and lots of flakes to a bolted anchor. The crux can (unfortunately) be all too easily bypassed by climbing the right edge of the dish. Rappel to descend.

Protection 

3 bolts, bolted anchor.
