From the belay ledge at the top of pitch one of The Big Easy (5.7) continue up and left through the notch and up to a tricky overlap where you must get up on to the final slab and motor up to the summit of the cliff...
I once tried rope soloing this route thinking it was a 5.7 second pitch to The Big Easy... I ended up down climbing to the real 5.7 finish and rapping off... Fun times...
The large fresh rock scar below the overlap is where the huge flake that is now part of the trail below came out of. It used to form a beautiful section of layback crack that was part of the old traditional route "Slick", and was gained from the classic traditionally protected corner that leads up and rt off the ledge. Old gear was found behind where the flake fell off which needless to say wasn't too reliable!
If the easy slab above seems a bit overprotected, an extra bolt was put in by accident during a blond moment. If I can figure out how to get it out without creating a mess it will eventually be removed.
