Description
This route follows the obvious flake system out of the cave, the hardest move on the route is probably the one getting off the ground, but the redpoint crux is right at the third bolt making a leftward traverse before gaining the easy ground past the last bolt to the chains. Fun and interesting movement throughout the overhanging lower portion of the climb. Lots of drop knees and even a knee bar or two will help you surmount this route.
Location
This route starts just a tiny bit to the left of the poison ivy in the cave. The start is shared with THC which begins with the first bolt line right of Crystal Method. It starts on the obvious chalked undercling with poor feet. Climb the first two bolts of THC, then continue straight up to the third bolt of Crystal Method, finishing up with a bit of a runout to a lone bolt in the easy but kind of awkward corner system above.
