Route description 

Start at the smooth face between City Lights and Frog's Head. Move up an indistinct, left-leaning ramp: this starts about 10-15 off the ground, and it is directly below a very small tree. At the end of the ramp, climb the face straight up to the belay ledge, walk right to the Frog's Head bolts. The crux is the first 20 feet or so.

The current guide lists this as 5.9. From what I can remember and from what was told to me by a long-time 'Gunks climber who did the climb, it is 5.10 of one sort or another. Either way, it's only a one star route: clean rock and decent moves, but no real line.
