Description

Quick short little crack/face climb/highball boulder problem, that is worth doing if you are there already doing the Northeast Corner and have your gear out. Has maybe 3 hard moves, 2 easier moves, then you get into the gully and its done.

Location

Left and up the hill from the Northeast Corner is a short dashed crack right by a waist high boulder and before the block scramble to get around the back of Donald Duck.

Protection

Best with some small cams C4 .3 or top-roping off of the large block at the top. ( we slung the block and backed it up with some slings on the tree from a previous rap setup.)
