Description
Haven't met anyone that knows this route, let alone someone that has climbed it. It's a gem with some fun/unique moves. Noting that there's a sticker bush growing in the first pitch chimney suggests the lack of traffic.
P1 has a steep section just before a great tunnel-through behind the distinct detached flake. This is the crux and I'm not sure is a part of the 5.8 rating. Belay shortly after flake. P2 starts with a tight squeeze or some nimble face traversing/stemming to avoid the squeeze - PG gear here.
