Description Suggest change

This route could use more traffic as it is a bit grubby (lichenous). If you are in the vicinity, it is a worthwhile challenge, the rock is excellent.

Right of Friday's Folly there is a long left facing corner (the route Pentaprance). The next big crack/chimney right of this is Falcon's Fracture. Scramble south from the base of the raps and locate and climb an easy (5.0) traverse right (south) ending at a tree about 50' up the Falcon's Fracture dihedral (starting near the base of Pentaprance). From this start the hard part of the route is not visible. Alternatively, go for the 5.9 Direct Start, which climbs the crack from the bottom. It was first led by Jim Ericson.

From the tree, the next 30' of the vertical to overhanging dihedral are the crux. The initial moves are quite tricky and I resorted to using the tree. About halfway through, there is an ancient bolt right next to a perfect 1" crack (why?). The final moves are well protected and airy stemming. Then you can get into an easy chimney and easily romp up 70' more to Slip-Slide Ledge.

Continue to the top via the SW Chimney, or descend that route.
