Description
Climb the smooth black hand crack to a ledge. The crux is found as the crack jogs right then up. Continue straight up on chossy, lichen-laden rock to a flaring off-hands chimney to a large ledge below a final roof. Belay the second from here then exit right into a brushy gulley. It's possible to continue up the final roof (~15ft) then walk off but the rope drag with be considerable.
