Description
Climb up good crack and chimney for about 80 feet until a clean finger crack on the right appears. Follow this nice crack to the top. No fixed anchor. Walk off to the right (east).
After about 50 feet, there is a 5.9 variation that follows a finger crack on the left of the chimney to a ledge with bolts (not visible from below). It is possible top walk off from this point by heading first left, then right.

Location
Start about 30 feet left of where the trail meets the wall. The climb starts up a short, vertical, handcrack just right of a pine tree. (There is a longer, vertical, handcrack just to the right, a variation to the route A Fine Line).
Protection
Small to large nuts and cams.
Per Sarah Meiser: there is now a two bolt anchor at the top of this climb. A 60 meter rope will not reach the ground, but there is another anchor above Cow-a-bunga's 5.9 variation that can easily be used as an intermediate. It's on climber's left side of the chimney about 60 feet below.
