Description

This climb is a little contrived but has lots of fun movement. Start up the same crack as "Doug Thompson Gets the First Ascent" then head right toward the Crescent Cave. Pull around the cave roof using rock and roots then climb right of the giant maple to a ledge. Climb back behind the maple and directly up the slab past the bolt. Alternatively one can avoid the crux slab moves by escaping right up some easy 5th class. The anchor is obvious and up a couple ledges from the final slab.
