Pitch 1. Head up an easy flake system for about 40 feet. At the top of the flake, follow a small left-facing corner until it ends. (South Crack traverses right from here to the next crack to the right). From the end of the corner, climb on friction, passing a bolt (5.9 move), to a bolted anchor. Pitch 2. The second pitch heads up and slightly left on friction. According to one older topo, there should be a bolt anchor, which we never found. We belayed at a small ledge with a small crack. Pitch 3. Friction climbing leads up to the small cracks above the top of the Great White Book and a gear anchor. Pitch 4. Meander up easy terrain to the top of the Great White Book and another gear anchor. Warning: There once was a bolted anchor, which has been removed. I saw the remains of several bolts. With a 60-meter rope, we were able to reach small flakes and cracks to place an anchor. Depending on how long you run the pitches, this can be climbed in more or fewer pitches.
Location
Dixie Peach and South Crack share the same start. Climb third-class slabs to a large ledge to the right of the Great White Book.
Protection
Small wires on the first corner and cams up to a #2 Camalot.
