Follow the crack/dihedral up to the ledge on top of the overhanging block. This section can be led using trad. From there, head up to the left and around the corner (crux). Then face climb to the anchors. There are bolts on this second section. Per Tim Olson's book: "Climb up the left corner of (the) detached block, and step onto a large ledge, then embark up left onto the bolted prow and face climb on interesting edges to the belay anchor above."A top rope can be placed by taking the trail up to the left and around behind the routes.
