Best approach to both the Dihedral Buttress routes (Dream of White Sheep and Slab in the Sky) and to the Cookie Jar routes (Thin Mint, Chocolate Chunk, and Sugar Cookie).
Note, just before the route doubles back west on a huge ledge, there is a short (20 - 30 ft) section of exposed slab climbing with a few bolts. Typically parties will either need to rope up here or risk a very exposed class 3. My intention is to add either a section of chain or a fixed line across this slab to make the approach quicker, but that isn't in place yet.
You can also get up to this hike via the gully north of the Car Hole area, but that route is steeper and brushier.
