This includes land below the cliff to above cliff line and starts approximately at Eenie Meenie and continues south about 200 feet. Climbers are asked to respect the no-trespassing signs and advised to use the access trail marked in orange blazes.

Description 

Climb face and follow (creaky) right arching flake to ledge. Handle flake with CARE - part of it broke off on my partner's ascent. Gain ledge and climb overhang at crack (crux) then slab to ceiling. Good holds on crux but a bit strenuous. Traverse right above huge laurel bush to pine tree rap/belay station. 90 ft. Fun and challenging.

Location 

5 feet right of obvious right facing corner on featured face. 15 feet left of Bush Leagues right facing corner and 50 feet right of Moxie.

Protection 

Protects well, although avoid using anything in flake. Can get gear in right facing corner although a little off route.
