Description 

This is a fantastically overhanging pocket fest that is well worth climbing if you've got the guns. Unfortunately, the start has a large blank roof and requires use of the flimsy tree or possibly a trolley-start - but it's well worth the trouble.

P-1 Climb the flimsy tree to the first bolt just above the roof. From here, stand high and gain a horizontal (#2 or #3 camelot). Climb steep rock past another cam placement to a bolt and a move onto a ledge. A good knee bar rest or lie down rest can be had here. Once ready, fire up the overhanging wall on amazing pockets past bolts to the 2 bolt chain anchor lower off (fixed with biners).

Location 

East side, right. Just left of a very hard OW overhang/corner.

Protection 

Hand sized cams between bolt 1-2, otherwise bolted.
