Description Suggest change

Start on the mossy edged ramp on the left side of this wall. Find, or more likely dig out, some gear spots (Mostly smaller wires and cams, offset nuts are phenomenal). Work up into a small gully or stay on the face and climb onto a ledge with some trees and a large crack capped by large blocks (Solid looking/feeling but may shift over time). A number 5 cam fits nicely in the crack. This stance is an optional belay (Recommended if you did not run out the bottom section or did not extend your pieces adequately). From this ledge, tentatively work up the crack and trend slightly left as you get to a bare ledge (Variation: Use jugs and edges on the face - limited protection). There will be a distinct crack on the face. Toss in some gear and make the moves on the committing crux. This will land you in a spacious alcove on a sizeable ledge (Another possible belay spot if desired). Trend left and up. Pulling the roof on the left side, utilizing some jugs and the left face. Work into the offwidth crack with good features all around (On your left will be the original, now abandoned, crows nest). Run up this crack, sneaking a peek through the wall at times, up to the final dihedral sequence on jugs. Belay on the prominent ledge below the overlook. 

The start retains moisture longer than other routes. 

Originally used to rappel in to assess route potential. Developers inadvertently disturbed some hungry, and quite ugly, crow chicks. After some shenanigans, we were able to give them ample space and did not use this line until the nest went two seasons without inhabitants.

Location Suggest change

Up an left from the main corner system of Pixel Wall on the higher pedastal. One can walk up from Pixel on a climbers path but this is quite sloppy. It is more advisable to follow the talus trail offshoot from either Corners or Pixel trail. 

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack (Smaller gear down low - Larger stuff midway)
