Description 

This is an alternate start to Pseudo Sidetrack. It starts about twenty feet to the left in a water groove. Make unprotected moves for about 15 feet up to a roof where good gear and large holds await. Pull through the roof and make another few moves to get up to the Pseudo Sidetrack traverse. Continue on the traverse to the anchor at the top of the first pitch. Continue with Pseudo Sidetrack.

Location 

Starts just left of Pseudo Sidetrack.

Protection 

Standard rack. Maybe a bigger piece for the roof.
