Description
Location
From the top of Eagle Point Buttress look west across the expansive south-facing second tier face. This is the climbers right most route on the "Dragon's Wing" ledge which has routes Blister in the Sun, Scared as a Virgin, Tinker's Toy, Quantum Mechanics and Cooler than kissing. You can't miss the obvious right facing flake feature in the middle of the wall. You can access the ledge by climbing up the first obvious dihedral climbers left of the start of Day Tripping. Alternatively from climbing up one can hike climbers left to a gully and bushwhack up and back right on to the ledge or climb foxfire, or day tripping to top out the cliff then walk climbers left and rap off a suitable tree to the dragon's wing ledge.
