Description

Access a ledge at ~50’ off the ground where there are two trees at the base of a major dihedral. This is also the start for Moss Toss (crack var). There are numerous ways to access the ledge, but the easiest may be the low-angle, grassy cracks directly below the dihedral.

Once on the ledge, climb the right hand dihedral that peters out into a slab. This crack is hands to fists, in general, and is about 5.7 or 5.8 maybe. Two # 4s could be useful but are not necessary. At the end of the crack, follow the bolt line up the immaculate slab on solid knobs and edges. Keep a #1 or 2 TCU on hand for a slot between bolts 3 and 4. Finish at the anchor for Arete Already/On the Bus. This pitch is probably 110’. Either continue up one of those routes or descend. To descend, rap with a 60 meter rope to the south (climber’s right) to a large shelf with trees which serves as the base for the routes Buffalo Tears to Spree.

Protection

See the description. Eds. bolts, gear hands to fist size, two # 4s could be useful but are not necessary, and keep a #1 or 2 TCU on hand for a slot between bolts 3 and 4.
