Description
Located on the north face of the boulder a short ways right of Easy Flake (5.7 R) which is identifiable as a right-slanting flake system.
Start matched from an edge (jump to reach if short), run your feet up and make a reach up and left to a good edge to join Easy Flake. From here you have three options - reverse your moves, jump off, or top out the problem by continuing out right to the west face and paddle up smears to the top.
