Description
Pitch 1: (100', 5.7) Climb the easy slab up to a huge ledge. Build a gear anchor in a large horizontal crack underneath the obvious right facing dihedral. (This pitch is listed as Pee Wee's Big Adventure in Rock Climbs of SW MT guide book)
Pitch 2: (5.9+, 50') Enjoy the awesome right facing dihedral hand crack system! Gear anchor (small stuff) just above the dihedral.
Descent: Scramble off left (a few exposed but easy moves), or continue climbing up higher to the very top, and then scramble down and left. This walk off honestly sucks, and this climb could benefit from some rappel rings to get down.
Location
Hike up and left of The Move into an alcove with a big dark grey slab on your left. This is the start of your route.
Protection
Gear up to BD#3. Gear belays.
