Description 

This route ascends the S side of the valley massif just left of large, left-facing corner (hooker).

There is a nice, bouldery, double crack start that allows the belayer to escape the sun somewhat. Its probably 5.7ish. Otherwise, scramble up slabs to a ledge to belay.

Follow a stellar crack (mostly hands) up the face and exit through an easy slot. Belay in the shady cave area.

Walk off easily to the climbers right and back down.


Protection 

Gear to three inches, eats nuts.

On a cool morning, this is a great route to soak up the sun and get limbered up on.

Pretty much comparable to a miniature of Ed's Crack.
