Location

It is in the open book immediately left of The Tree Route. Walk off right.

Protection

SR, emphasis on finger to hand-sized cams. No anchors at top.

[Hide Comment] Classy warm-up! Hollow flakes on the left face but spectacular gear in the corner. Would be 3 stars, but the topout is LOOSE, and deathblocks abound. Tread lightly, and have your belayer protected under the roof. Nov 5, 2018
