Description 

A good finish to Morning Thunder, but not much of a route otherwise. Short overhanging jams are cool... for 20' of climbing. Morning Thunder [runs] directly into this with no belay [required]. [It requires some] judicious use of slings and pro placement, but [it makes] Morning Thunder all the longer and more fun. Perhaps, then bordering on 3 stars as a single pitch.

From the top of [Morning Thunder], continue up and right under a pod/roof and climb up and out from that to the right of a huge boulder. Overhanging jams are key. Belay up over the top of this, perhaps with some rope-drag.
