Description 

This is an overlooked pitch on The Dome of good quality but poor protection. The best bet for mortals would be to climb the first part of The Owl or Cozyhang and drop down to toprope it. Direct climbs a groove in a black streak that joins Cozyhang near the left side of the roof. The route has some interesting stemming moves.

Location 

Just left of the lowpoint on the Dome locate a black streak that meets the Cozyhang roof near its left side. From the top of Direct there are a number of possible finishes, the most obvious being the remainder of Cozyhang.

Protection 

This route has sparse protection, but there may be a few opportunities to place RPs or small cams.
