Seasonal Closures:

The presence of a prairie falcon nesting in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes requires closure of "Fat Freddie’s Cat,” “Freak Brothers Dome,” “The Weenie,” “Pea Brain,” and “The Red Obelisk."

Description
Just right of the Coarse and Buggy dihedral is a wide overhanging face. This route ascends a steep and somewhat junky looking crack at the far left side of this wall, just a couple yards right of Coarse and Buggy.
The party we saw climb this said it was good. Vogel gives it no stars. I haven't climbed it, but wouldn't be surprised to see more people on it now that it's bolted.
The first bolt is high. There's some gear before it but it may or may not keep you off the ground. A stick clip might be advisable.
