Description
This route is located in a SW facing alcove just south of the summit tower. It is not quite visible in the Green Thumb photo on the Green Thumb rock page, however if you walk 50' south from where that photo was taken you would see this alcove.
The vertical crack in the back of the alcove is Green Crack (5.8+). This route is the crack a few feet right of Green Crack that diagonals up and right. I would give this route 3 stars if it wasn't so short. The route is 50' long or less. Move left at the top and rap back down off a small tree.
