Description 

A fun little route with variety but more challenging to protect. Find this route just L of the obvious dihedral/jam crack, EB Jeebies. It climbs better than it looks. This is often in the shade until mid afternoon.

Start right behind a small evergreen (pine?) tree. Grab the rounded edge and muscle/balance up. This may be challenging to get stable to protect. Move up into the small dihedral with fun stemming. You can use the crack on the R for pro or climbing. Traverse R under the roof & kick around to easier ground. You can belay just above the roof or there is a small tree & grooves 20 ft back from the top.

Scarmble off to the SE.
