Description

Climb up easy ground to the base of the dihedral and lieback/jam thin moves (crux) to the face above.  Climb easy moves up, then right to a small headwall.  Lieback past a bolt to the anchor.

A fun route with a distinct thin crux.  Probably harder for those with fat fingers...

Location

From the edge of the forest skirt the NE facing wall for about 150' then look for a prominent, short, low angle, right facing dihedral about 25' up (pic shows this feature well).

Protection

one bolt, single rack to #2 Camalot (including thin pro), Fixe ring anchor
