Description
From the bulletin board at Hidden Valley Campground, turn around and walk approximately 100 feet west then scramble up through some boulders to the base of the route.
Jam up hand crack for about 10 feet, then angle diagonally up and right along large flakes. About two-thirds of the way up the route, step left and continue up vertical, pin scarred finger crack (crux) to top.
Belay from gear in a horizontal crack directly above the finish, NOT from the bolted anchor over to the right.
Descent: Single rope rappel from two-bolt anchor 20' right of the top of the climb.
