Description 

This route is an excellent way to get to the summit from routes ending at the Slash.
At the highest point of the Main Wall is a dead tree. It is seen on the skyline.
A flake line, leads to this tree.
From The Slash, move up and left to the flake. From the flake's top, climb up and right to a belay ledge.
From here climb up and right, then up to the top.
