Description 

Start to the right of "Wish Sandwich" and climb. P1 starts by linking discontinuos cracks until you get to the nice left facing corner (might be the crux but you are having too much fun to notice). At about 170 feet belay on a nice three bolt belay on a ledge. P2: slab climb past three bolts (crux) to join a left facing corner. Plug gear until you reach the single bolt. Back this up with a few pieces. P3: Climb up the remainder of the corner and turn it to gain a low angle slab (no protection) for about 30 or 40 feet. Belay on a nice ledge with two bolts. 3rd class up or climb one of the other pitches that lead to the top from this ledge. P2 and P3 can be combined into one but rope drag sucks and the rope runs over a nice little edge that I wouldn't want to fall on.
