On the East end of the Crescent Crack Buttress is a 1 bolt route. This climb is the corner to the right. It is short which detracts from it, but itherwise it isn't too bad. It starts as a hand crack and then a weird traverse under the roof, using chickenheads, then it works up a finger crack, until you can traverse right over the "groove"y face to the tree anchor. Watch the rope drag.
Protection
Medium to large gear, with a long sling for the roof walkaround move. A #2 Camalot protects the traverse to the tree anchor well. The anchor is a good tree, so bring backup slings in case of age on the originals.
i did this rout two days ago and i didnt see any webbing on the tree above it, but if you run the last piece out and climb that slab at the end of the roof part or if you climb up the trees there are to bolts on the wall to rap off of
