Description
Fun moves. Too bad it's not longer.
Up the dihedral to the tree on the mid-height ledge.
There's supposed to be a moderate line (? called "Ecce Homo"?) through the upper half of wall somewhere left of the tree, but so far we're not sure what it is. The section directly above the tree, feels like it would be at least 5.12 on painful holds.
warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.
. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Protection
For ideas how to set up Top-Rope, see Description of this Nechtanc sector.
Simplest to have the top-rope anchor at the top of the cliff, then just lower off after climbing from bottom up to the mid-height ledge.
Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
