Description
Start just right of the descent route for Catch a Falling Star, et al atop a boulder. Make a move up onto a thin flake then step right to the right end of the thin flake. Climb up the face above the flake to the top of the dome. You can also climb up the face to the left of this route (and just right of the base of the descent route) at about the same grade.
On a cold, windy day, this is a sunny, well sheltered spot. The route is named after the movie about the theft of musician Gram Parsons' body.
