Description 

Start the same as Dog-Stick-Ridge link-up at a right-facing chimney. climb the chimney to a ledge, then traverse out right through an open book/ finger crack. at the end of the crack, traverse left under the roof, then fire strait up the face.

Location 

this route starts about 15 feet right of baskerville terrace at a large block leaning against the wall that forms a right-facing chimney.

Protection 

initially the pro is good, but in the crux you are clipping old, bad pitons that are half-out. just before the crux though, under the roof you get bomber gear, and then just after the crux you get bomber gear, but after this gear there is not much until you get to the communal anchor.
