Description 

A Tieton classic on an aesthetic pillar. Boulder a few feet up a finger crack (Boy Howdy, 5.10a), then step right to clip the first bolt. Pass a dismally thin crux at the third bolt (.11-), followed by a long, athletic reach to a jug. Crimp up the gently overhanging face, culminating in the business: a long static reach or deadpoint to a jug. Good edging shoes help.

Location 

About halfway along the cliff.

Protection 

6 bolts. There is currently no rap anchor atop the route. Clip a directional bolt at the top and step a few feet over to the anchor above the next route to the left (Black Celebration, 5.11a).
