This is a fun 75 foot dihedral to the L of You're Ugly and Gonzo. The pro is all there, the anchors are bomber -- trees. It's a fast one pitch moderate climb that's ideal for beginning leaders. And, it stays in the shade a long time.

Better than it looks from below, quite enjoyable.

For you beginning leaders, either don't fall or place closely spaced protection above the broken off stump (clearly pictured) to prevent horrendous impaling. Perhaps a saw....
This is an OK route, much easier than P2 of Gonzo. I don't think this gets climbed often. In the dihedral crack, there's a bit of vegetation and dirt. Makes the feet "interesting" when there's not much on the face. Lots of loose rock at the top. Be careful when belaying from above.

Maybe it was just because I hadn't warmed up, but I got pretty pumped on this. As with all routes in this area, there is a ton of loose rock piled up on top. The stump should be either removed or sharpened to a fine point for beginning leader kabobs.
