This low-angle slab lies near the center of the Ribcage crags. The excellent online guide lists two routes up this rock.

The routes Winter Solstice and Last Chance on Upper Dome can be nicely joined by heading climber's right after the knee-high grass-y-ish plant in the crack but before the very top of Winter Solstice. After heading right, drop into a kind of gulley at the point of the start of Last Chance.
