Description 

Blocky slab/face. Crux is two thirds of the way up, the rest of the climbing is 5.4-5.6ish. It is a long hike up for just this route, but there is some old Jim Disney stuff on the upper ridge 50 yards to the right.

Location 

Park at the dirt pullout 1.2 miles west of the tube. Hike and 4th class up the gully on the north side of the road just west of the bridge to the west of Practice Rock/US 34 bypass/Safety in Numbers. It is a trudge and grunt to get up there. You can rap of some trees on the way down. The climb is just short of the top of the ridge below a small saddle.

Protection 

Gear to 1 1/2 inches with one bolt at the crux. Two bolt anchor.
