Description
Nice enough moves, with a thoughtful traverse.
Up crack about five feet, then a couple of steps Left onto ramp. Easier up to the top, trending a bit right.
Variation 1: Start instead about four feet Left of corner/crack, and work hands up Left on ramp (5.7).
Variation 2: Start instead about four feet Left of corner/crack and get hands on ramp -- then instead move hands Left to beyond steeper part of ramp, then up onto gentler part of ramp (5.8).
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).
