Description
The route begins near the left side of the boulder described in the Location section, and within a crusty shale band where there is an overhanging handcrack in the small roofs and overhanging blocks in this portion of the cliff. The route overhangs for its entire length.
Once off the ground, muscle up the crack as it tapers to finger-size, until you encounter the underside of a double decker Jenga stack. Avoid continuing up through the stack (the rock is potentially unstable) and instead maneuver out of the crack to the left and continue up, climbing beside the Jenga stack. There is a series of two bolts in this middle portion of the route. Continue upwards through the overhanging face and into a dihedral feature under the large capstone roof. The route ends at a pair of anchors. The route does not reach the top of the cliff.
During the summer, the route stays entirely shaded until the late afternoon when the sun hits it for an hour or so.
Location
There is a col or a 'pocket' of cliffline between the two primary overlook viewing stances at the top of the cliff portion that makes up the Jim Lynn overlook. After reaching the base of the cliffline in the area of the overlooks and walking upstream (east), one passes under this col that has a sort of terrace feature at its base. This col and its terrace feature is also directly below the area of the overlook above where the single handicapped visitor parking place is located.
You would scramble up a vegetated, 20 foot length of low angle material to get to this terrace feature. Once standing on the terrace, looking up at the cliff and to your left, you see that the cliff here forms a large dihedral shape with a large capstone roof feature at the top. On the ground near the base of the wall is dihedral is a large boulder.
