Description 

Starts off the ramp about 50 feet right of the large squeeze/dihedral (Face Value). Look for a small tree growing behind a loose flake. Head up off the flake past the tree (place a dicey small nut,tricam, or tcu in the seam) to the first bolt (5.8). Follow the bolts (4 or 5?) up the face to the anchors. This route is a good intro to climbing on Helen's Dome. Rap the route with double ropes (one 60m will just get you to the top of the flake forcing a downclimb).


Protection 

Take 8-10 quickdraws and a small wire/tri-cam/tcu for the initial seam. Fixe Rap Anchors at belay.

I take it bolts have been added? I think Ken Trout's guide says that there are only two bolts and making the pitch runout.
