Description
Located on Hound Rock, this route is about five feet to the right of the route Tossed Green. Start on an easy slab which leads into the crack proper. Climb up to a rotten downward pointing flake. Surmount this (crux) and continue up the crack to the top. There are rap slings around a large boulder at the top of the crack. The poor rock on this route is in contrast to the good rock on the other Hound Rock routes.
