Description 

Excellent route.

Starts just right of the Cheeks on a prow/arete, or farther right underneath Vulture Roof then make a very awkward traverse left under the roof. Probably better pro going this way, both options about the same difficulty. Like most at the Playground, the first 15' is tough, to a good rest stance at the left end of the Vulture Roof. Then follow the finger crack/seam straight up, first passing through a bulge (crux), to easier climbing above, with a few helpful mono- and two-finger pockets along the way.


Location 

20 feet left of Vulture Roof. #20 in the Photo.
