Description

This route climbs the prominent left-leaning crack that splits the SE face & meets up with Shake N Bake where the cracks almost meet, at the chickenhead patch just beneath the last pitch.

P1 Begins near the right end of the main face. Follow the sloping ledge up & left until the ledge dies out & committing moves guard the main crack. After about 20', belay at a stance off of nuts or hand-sized gear. Alternatively, you could start on one of the newer routes that goes up to the ledge and then just continue left towards the Wishbone crack.

P2 Follow the slanted hand crack until its end, belaying at a giant cluster of chicken heads above Shake N Bake.

P3 Either take Shake N Bake's 5.6 exit out left (marked by an old bolt with Leeper hanger) or head up & slightly right for the original finish. Both are equally run out through easy terrain.

Walk off or rap.
