Far left side of The Preface where the smooth rock gives way to a highly featured, lower-angle face. This long route ascends the pillar with a couple small roofs at the top. Start up a vertical crease until you are even with a ledge on your right at mid-height. Continue straight up the pillar weaving left around the roof and topping out on the wide summit ledge. 

 Variation: Climb first half of the route. At mid-height, traverse right onto the ledge, skirt behind a tall shrub, and then up a short distance to a two-bolt anchor. A direct line to the anchor ends on the ledge right of the shrub and is somewhat harder but has little pro on the bottom half. The anchor here has hangers only, no chains. Can be used to access anchor for route to the right.

Small to large pro: cams, nuts, tri cams. At top, belay off a large pine tree 15 feet past the lip of the ledge; lowering/toproping not recommended. Walk off climbers right down gully, past the South Buttress, to base of The Preface.
