Description
Begin from the ramp/ledge, just right of A Cheap Way to Die. At the time of the first ascent, there was a small bonsai-like pine tree that marked the start. It's still there, now dead, a victim of the drought years.
Begin just right of the tiny, dead pine tree, and climb straight up past 4 bolts, then angle up and right past 3 more bolts up to a 2-bolt anchor. The last bolt and the anchor is shared with Rough Riders.
The climbing is very sustained past the first 4 bolts (10d above the first bolt, 10d above the second bolt, 11b above the third, and 10a above the 4th) after which the climbing eases.
