Description
This pleasant route climbs the right side of the south-facing rib of the West Buttress that is detached and slightly west of the main Sawmill Wall. Consistent climbing past several bulges for nearly 100 feet finishes at a steel carabiner/mussy anchor. The route was named for an unbelievably ancient rappel anchor found in a slot to the right of the climbing about halfway up: a barely-wedged flake of rock about the size of a Popular Mechanics magazine that came off with the flick of a toe.
