Description
Start in the middle of Playhouse Rock, on the right side of an obvious bulge that forms a roof low to the ground. The lower section of this climb is the crux and protects well, and is easier than it looks. Although a bit wide, no offwidth technique is required as there is a finger crack within the wide crack, and several nice holds on the face so look around. After the crux, this route is mostly slab climbing with a crack for pro. Up high there is one more vertical section with an awesome hand crack that again hits the grade. Top belay from a gear anchor and walk off to the south.
