Either wedge yourself in the chimney and have some physical fun or pinch the arete to the right. either way, eventually reach a roof with great hand jams and pull it.
Location
The route is just left of the Snakes and Ladders face. The obvious roof w/ a thin hand crack.
Protection
Up to a #2 camalot. Lots of small stuff for the lower corner. Descend via a tree w/ slings and rap rings.
I put the route in the database as a .10- because that's how it's listed in the book. Personally, I feel the thing's a scorchin' sandbag! The roof is easy, but the lower dihedral is REALLY physical!!

Great route, but you better enjoy some good ol' fasion "body english", or you won't be having a good time....
scary down low with minimal good pro. physical. good route though.

Probably 10b or 10c. The stemming work is not rudimentary. Beware of sandbags. A few small nuts protect some interesting climbing, so not for the trad noobie. Fun route though, and certainly height dependent.
