Description
There are two ways to start this route. One can begin at the bottom of the buttress and climb difficult friction past a bolt (5.10?) to a small ledge.
The other option is to bypass the difficult start and traverse in on the aforementioned ledge. This makes the climb about 5.8.
Whichever start you choose, there is a groundfall potential getting to the next (second) bolt.
After the second bolt, climb left of a prominent water streak past a third bolt then angle left to a fourth bolt and then up to a large pine tree with slings.
To descend, rappel 60-70' from the large pine tree with slings.
Note that there is a large buildup of pine needles at the base of this route. The height of these pine needles may play a major role in the difficulty of the initial slab moves.
