The presence of a prairie falcon nesting in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes requires closure of "Fat Freddie’s Cat,” “Freak Brothers Dome,” “The Weenie,” “Pea Brain,” and “The Red Obelisk."

Description
A short but fun slab on good rock in a remote-feeling area, although only minutes from the car - something worth seeking out on those busy weekends.
This is the leftmost and more difficult of the slab routes here and climbs a brown slab with thin edges and smears.
Location
West face of the rock just left of Absolutely Slabulous.
Walk left past Coarse and Buggy and through a rocky notch between Dihedral Rock and Glory Dome; once through the notch, head right to the base of this west-facing slab.
