Wiessner's Rib. ~10 minute approach from the intersection of the tower and white trails.

graduation never looked so sweet

Looking up the start of P1. Go up the corner, stay left of the boulder pictured, then above it hook right. The layback crux (12'?) will be obvious, and the path to the classic belay ledge described in the beta. Crux sucks up pro (BD .2, .3, 2, .4...).
