Description 

Pitch 1: Locate a large corner system with a distinctive triangular roof hanging out over it. Begin by climbing up easy ground on crumbling rock and traverse left under an off width crack to gain the bottom of the large right facing corner. Follow the corner up and belay on large hand sized gear below a chimney.

Pitch 2: Climbing the chimney using nice cracks and face holds. Belay on gear. Rap from trees or walk off.

Location 

Pass slabs of Mountaineer's Wall, and walk almost to Continental Drift Slab. Look for a ramp of rotten rock leading up into a corner system. There is also a large bird's nest in the overhangs above the corner on P 1.
