Description 

Pitch 1: Climb up the slabby, left wall of the obvious, giant dihedral. Belay under the massive roof. 100 ft.
Pitch 2: Immediately step across the gap to the right wall of the dihedral. This is airy, and definitely the mental crux of the route. Shorter people may have to stretch. Traverse out onto the exposed face around the corner and then head up to a belay about 50 feet higher.
Pitch 3: Head up and slightly left aiming for a path into the vegetation.

Once you are on the big vegetated ledge, walk left looking for the last viable scramble to the summit. There are a couple bolts to protect the scramble. Walk off the summit trail.

Four stars is a lot for a 3-pitch, one-move wonder with a long walkoff-- is this route really as good as the North Ridge? Worth doing, but not often.

I really had a lot of fun on this one. It was much better than Cave Route, My Route, Helmet Buttress, and Skip to My Lou.

Maybe it is just three stars as opposed to four. I definitely think the North Ridge is the best route at Table Rock.

The first two pitches are great, but P3 is a lichen-infested pain in the tail, not worth doing as far as I'm concerned.

the 5.9 direct finish of pitch 2 is quite fun. Traverse right at the 2nd pitch anchors and you can pick up on the pitch 2 anchors of Jim Dandy. as far as easy one move wonders go, this one is fun. The first pitch is a great first trad lead and can be done with a set of stoppers.
