Description 

This route is right of Topaz. Find Topaz and then look right to the left-facing dihedral/chimney system that is the first pitch of Chickenhead. This route is on the face directly to the right of that. There are three bolts: one at each crux. The first bolt is about 40 feet up and the climbing between the bolts is relatively easy. A small tree can be slung between the second and third bolt to add some security. The route ends at a two-bolt rappel anchor.

Protection 

Three bolts. A tree between the second and third bolt can be slung. Two-bolt rappel anchor at the top.
