Description 

Start by climbing parallel cracks to gain a ledge 15 feet up. Continue climbing a mix of crack and face holds to the right of a dead Juniper tree at the cliff top. Crux moves are gaining the first ledge, then again about 2/3 of the way up the route.


Location 

Third route to the left of Beginner's Hand Jam, look for a dead Juniper at the top - the route is just to the right.


Protection 

1 set cams to #3 Camalot, 1 set nuts
A 2-bolt anchor for Mr. Foster/Tree climb is just right (climber's right) of the dead tree, which is no longer a safe anchor for this route.
