Description
Looks like it's going to require off-width techniques, but then it goes just fine without them.
Up the obvious crack, then roughly straight to the top.
warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

Location
Obvious vertical crack up to six inches wide toward right side of west face.

Trad: Standard rack.
For ideas to set up Top-Rope, see the Description of this Crumbling Under Pressure sector.
Makes sense to set the Top-Roe top anchor on a ledge below the top of the cliff.
