Description Suggest change

I do not know the correct name for this route. If you do, feel free to correct the label I've affixed. I stumbled on this formation before finding the larger, cleaner, and sunnier main Oberhauser Ridge. The overhanging nature of the line frightened me, but a few minutes of scanning the holds lured me into giving it a try. I reached a decent stance after working up the initial left-rising corner through an overhang, but getting there was slightly unnerving. I had to chill for a few before tackling the ensuing series of overhanging jugs leading to the top. While there are, for the most part, 'jugs', these are often facing not-quite the right way, and are slippery enough to make secure footwork on them difficult.
The route is a very tad bit dirty, and seems quite polished. As a lead, one might want to bring a couple medium cams along to bolster the well-placed fixed gear.
I cannot recall if there was a fixed top anchor for rappelling. I used a greasy, dirty ramp on the opposite side of the ridge, about 20' away from the route's line.

Location Suggest change

On the climber's right side of the formation, about 1/3rd of the way uphill from its base; look for the left-leaning corner/ramp that marks the start of this route, and the fixed gear.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts. As mentioned, maybe bring some cams/hexes to assuage the security-seeker within.
