Description
Just to the left of Beginner's Delight lies this somewhat obscure route. You rarely see people on it, as you have Asphodel to the left and a plethora of starred routes to the right.
P1: Aim for an obvious left-facing corner below a roof about 50' feet up. Step up and right onto the top of the block, then up to a long ledge. Find some gear, traverse left, and belay at its left end.
P2: (5.3 G) Climb straight up, through the obvious overhang to the GT ledge. There is a bolted belay anchor on the GT ledge.
P3: (5.3 G) Finish up the left-facing corner on the left.
Protection
P2 & 3: fairly straight-forward climbing, typical Gunks. These two pitches go at a true 5.3, no sand to be found, and protect at around PG; the cruxes of both pitches protect well.
Location
Descent: Rappel down the Beginner's Delight rap stations.
