Description 

Find an easy-looking, if brief, crack on the R side of this crag. To start, descend from the R into an alcove and start or go further L and to the very base of the rock.From the very base of the rock, you can ascend unprotected slab to the alcove mentioned above. From the alcove, briefly take a R angling crack, reminiscent of the Tilted Mitten start on Twin Owls. Continue up a groove to a roof. You could turn the roof. But to the R find a unusual hand traverse (crux) R to a bush. Then fire up a short crack to a slab. 65 feet with 30 feet of exit slab. Watch for rope drag. Certainly may have been done before but rock thrown off suggest possibly not. Walk off or move up to Tree Crack for a "2 pitch climb." 0.37 stars.
