Description 

You have the option of clipping the first bolt on Amplitude Modulated to the right and then you place a 1st piece in crack or PG-13 to crack. Then climb a few 5.9 moves to the tree and then easier terrain above. The last 15' is either runout if you are a naturalist and want the route to go free or you can clip the last bolt or 2 since the route shares anchors with Amplitude Modulated and Frequency Modulated.

Location 

This is the first route on the left side of the alcove. Look for the crack with a pine tree sticking out about 20' up. Start to the right side of the pine tree at the base and proceed right and under the pine tree in the crack.

Protection 

Gear to 3" and a couple of QDs.
