Description

Climb the center of the mediocre headwall on the northeast side of Strawberry Rock. A recent cleaning allowed the route to go on gear and is actually pretty neat. The moves are kind of wacky, and a bit complicated to protect well, but that all adds to the fun. It would be a popular top rope if it was cleaned up a bit. Pull over a bulge with a #2 at your feet and a difficult medium cam at your chest, pull up on a jug and place a micro-nut before pulling into the short crack. Traverse left where you can get a few black aliens, then back right to the the perfect hand crack finish.

Location

Just to your left before going over towards the short 3rd class hiker's trail.

Protection

Micro nuts, micro cams, and .5-2". Anchor takes 2-3" cams.
