Description
First pitch (190ft) goes up a finger crack, then a bit of dike hiking to finish the pitch. Second pitch (150ft) is a bit unclear. The route we took goes up just right of the belay station, then tends towards the dihedral on the left.
Location
50ft to the west of Psychedelic Tree the trail curves down and right towards the Central Wall. From here stay left along the wall, on a faint trail. This leads to the start of Fandango.
Protection
Standard Rack to 2.5", nuts, focus on small cams. Gear anchor (possibly bolts?) for first pitch. Pitons at the top of the route.
