Description 

P2: Move belay to left side of ledge, left of tree, in front of rappel station. From here, head up and slightly right onto the headwall on horizontals. Pull the overhang onto a small ledge system and continue up left on easy terrain to the obvious weakness. Trend up a right-leaning ramp, step carefully over a dead tree, and belay from your favorite tree.

Descent: Walk about 15 feet to the right to the rappel tree for "Cloudy Day." Descend from here as for "Cloudy Day."

Note: Not sure if this is a true FA. Please correct if not. When we climbed it, there was no chalk, no obvious gardening, no fixed gear, and tons of lichen.

Location 

Variation to the second pitch of "Cloudy Day." Description starts from the P1 belay of "Cloudy Day."

Note: "Putting Out the Vibe" lines up nicely with the P1 variation of "Cloudy Day" that pulls a roof past two bolts. Start on "Cloudy Day," move left onto thin face below the roof and up to a ledge, climb past two bolts (5.10), and belay. From here, head straight up onto "Putting Out the Vibe."

Protection 

Standard rack to 3".
