Description 

Continue on the path that led to The Far Side, past the rock with Step To The Left. About 40 feet later, there's a steeper path leading downhill. Follow this for ~100 feet to another large rock, Boneless Chicken Ranch is the first climb on the rock, with a very easy beginning, leading to a vertical face.

Once you get onto the vertical portion of the climb, it seems like one long crux. Lots of pocket fun.


Protection 

4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor shared by Swymour Frishberg. Not run out on the difficult portion. Avoid rope drag if you're top-roping.
