Description

This climb starts on a (usually) mossy slab just behind a small boulder. Climb the face past a small overlap with the help of the "Hand of God", to a small ledge/rest. (5.7+ / 5.8-) Then step right following the crack. (5.7, maybe 5.7+) When the crack terminates, continue climbing 30 ft up on easy ground to the trees.

Alt Finish: Rather then stepping right into the crack at the ledge/rest, climb the thin face on the left (see dashed line in photo).
