Description Suggest change

A fun, mini-adventure that climbs the long, airy slab off the frontside of the summit.  

In order to access this route, one must rappel from the two bolt anchor at the top, which can be found by carefully walking down the slab until you see a baby pine (which kind of looks like a Bonsai Tree) on your left, above a small corner--the two-bolt anchor can be found here.  Rappel to the first anchor, then make another rappel down to a cozy belay stance in a small alcove.  This is the start of the route.  

Pitch 1 (5.6 / 8 bolts):  Climb up from the alcove onto some steeper, but easier, terrain following the line of bolts to a short shield of white, quartzy rock.  Pad your way up a short crux sequence to gain the bely ledge and the two-bolt anchor below the final pitch. 

Pitch 2 (5.4 / 5 bolts): Fun, eastern-exposed, and safely-bolted slab climbing up knobby quartz blocks along the eastern side of the long slab, finally affording the climber with a big 270 degree view of the valley floor, Kezar Lake, and distant White Mountains.
