Description 

This excellent summit pitch stats from Fang Ledge,just right of the George's Tree belay.Liback a thin R-facing corner (5.8/9) right off Fang Ledge and head easily to a huge recess ie:The Box.Do the thin crack/dihedral that shoots out the left wall of the Box (5.9)to lower angle groves. Decent climbing tends leftward where a belay can be made below the fine L-facing corner that finishes George's Tree.One could reach the summit with 1 long pitch if rope drag was not a factor.Added note: D. Snively and all did an undescribed variation to this pitch aka: Swing State, which takes the very back left coner of the Box, a vertical strenous r-facing corner that eventually blends back to the initial line, 5.10+.
