Description 

Crux is lowest portion you start on. I have been told when you start left hand crimp and right hand sloper this is V3, and when you start at the lowest left hand side pull and right hand on 2-finger pebble this is a V4. Cool climb, regardless. Guidebook has SDS with left hand on lower side pull and right hand on 2-finger pebble as a V5. Input welcome on any of this.

Vid is unofficial/easiest (V3) version:

Location 

If you are at bottom of Parking Lot Boulders, follow creek upstream and Sparrow will be on your right. Usually you will see chalk on this boulder on right side facing West toward parking lot.

Protection 

Slight incline on approach but overall nice area for pad.

This is the problem. Throw a right heel up high!
