Description
An interesting climb that takes you on a tour of the main wall. It traverses up and left on a shelf with a thin finger crack. The shelf turns into a roof about half way up and the gear is a bit harder to place.
Location
It starts directly underneath the left side of the roof on the ramp and behind the oak tree. The name says it all.
Protection
Pro to #3 and bolts, rap anchor

There are two sets of bolted anchors near the top of the route. The 2 bolts more directly above the finish don't have rings, but it looks like you could walk off. This is probably the option with least drag (more on this later).
About 15' to the right is a set of bolts with rings for rappelling. With a 60m rope, you can just barely get to the ground if you have some heavy people to help with rope stretch, or you can stop at the rings you saw on your way up the ramp and do 2 raps down.
Drag should be considered given its a ramp and has a roof. If you go right at the finish to the rap ring anchor, I recommend extending everything near the roof with long slings, and possibly skip clipping the piton so that your rope isn't pulled so far left.
Really fun climb overall! Jan 1, 2025
