Description 

Pitch 1 (5.3): Climb the nice looking, but extremely sand crack in a dihedral to a ledge. Move left from the rockhouse and bushwhack vertically to a ledge below the second pitch.

Pitch 2 (5.5): Climb the face next to the right arching crack to a committing top out.

Location 

From Whiteout, walk left around the corner to a left facing dihedral. Rappel the route. It has been reported that you can walk off from the belay ledge, but I do not have first hand knowledge of this descent.

Protection 

First pitch is mostly hand sized gear. Second pitch is small and medium sized cams.
