Description
Start in the same slot used for the Original Route, but step left into the wide-ish crack. This can be protected by mid to large cams that seat perfectly. Hike up the near vertical crack for only 10 - 12 feet, and the angle of the crag drops way back. Big hands and loads of gear lead to a moderate runout for the tree. This was an enjoyable climb.
Protection
Bring several caming units with duplicate Camalots in the #2 and #3 range. The route finishes at the tree used for the Original Route.
