Description
Slabby route with a striking white dike running directly up the middle of the face. Interesting moves on mostly flakey crimps.
The distinctive crux used to be one move where you did not get such a crimp and needed to traverse right through an insecure sloper on the dike. A large flake was pulled off on the upper left side of the route, and now there are multiple easier options after the third bolt.
Location
Heading down the trail on the north side, just after Trunk Tribute take a right at the next trail fork. The trail leads to the Plutonacious boulder.

Plutons
A pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock that is crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth. Sheet-like plutonic intrusions are called dikes if they cut across existing structures, having formed at depth when magma filled an underground fracture and then cooled and solidified. These plutons are nothing but ancient cracks whose ascents have forever be claimed by the hot blood of Mother Earth. They are also pretty to look at. Plutonacious!
