Description 

Climb up past steep hand crack (5.9-) and then head leftward up a nice and moderate groove/crack system. At its top, step awkwardly left to another shallow groove/corner that is a bit dirty. At its top is the crux bulge (place pro in undercling to the left) which will land you on the same ledge as the rappel tree of Original Route. Traverse left to the tree and belay.


Location 

Crack just left of big roof (Wilford Roof) on right side of cliff. About 25' right of Original Route. Rap from Original Route's rappel tree (80').


Protection 

Standard rack.
