Description 

The first pitch of this route is a nice, deceptively hard 5.7. Climb an elegant arete to a notch in the roof above and pull through. This is as far as most people go (a rap anchor may or may not be there). Traverse left to a corner and belay.

The second pitch can either go up and left to Baskerville Terrace or up and right to Yellow Ridge.


Location 

Left of Yellow Ridge a long roof is broken by a nose - this is Fat Stick.


Protection 

Standard Gunks rack

This is also a great route to climb if you are looking to get out of the rain. Short, but fun and hard for the grade.
