Description
Find finger crack right behind a small aspen tree (white tree trunk) on the way up to arete/finger crack. Take short crack straight up to small ledge under roof (nice rest), go left around roof, following the crack, and follow as it angles left and the angle drops on this low angle slab.....the crack turns into a seam and peeters out, run it out for 30 feet up to a large right facing dihedral....another short but steep and sparsely protected 15 feet leads to a large and loose belay ledge (exciting). Scramble west or east to decend.
The start seemed hard. Brass nuts. There is good gear on the easier slab above--no need to run it out. Green Alien to #2/Gold Camalot. Lots of loose rock as you reach the belay ledge.

This route sucks.Do the bottom as a boulder problem if you like and spare yourself the garbage above. "Left Angling Crack" is a rotton flaring seam full of dirt and veg that will lead you into a rubble filled corner above poor pro.
