Description 

1. Climb the shallow open book to the top, diagonal right, then back left and across a slab (5.6 R). Go straight up to a ledge. Climb the wall above (5.8 R) and belay at a large ledge.

2. Climb pretty much straight up the face about 20 feet or so right of the large corner. Belay at a large ledge. 5.5 PG

3. There is a cedar tree on the ledge. Climb straight up from the tree past overhangs to a larger roof. Go past this to a fixed pin and a rest. Go past another overhang (crux), then keep moving up and right 30 or 40 feet and belay, or continue on to the top. 5.9 PG

Location 

If you are not familiar with the Nears, it is probably easiest to find this climb by first locating Easter Time Too. From there, walk left approximately 300 feet or so. Look for a large, orange-colored, right-facing corner; this is the start of Animal Farm. Wolf and the Swine begins at the top of small hill 40 feet or so right of this.

Protection
