Description
This obscure route begins at the far left side of the Skirt. Climb the slab over a little overlap past two bolts (shared with Restoration and Repair) then traverse right about 30 feet (crossing Calamity Jane) to a very thin flake that turns into a long undercling flake trending horizontally to the right, where a belay is set up with gear in the flake. The second pitch continues underclinging and liebacking right on the flake, then just before the flake peters out, heads up a slab and past a bolt to a big sloping ramp/ledge. From here the route moves right to join Orange Flake.
