Description
Located down and left from Mental Physics (5.7+) is this ramp/corner system marked by a roof high up.
Starting near the base of Unconscious Obscenity climb the ramp/corner as it steepens,leading to the prominent roof which is turned on it's left side (crux). Finish up on a ledge with bolted anchors and rap off (80'), or continue up easy but unprotected face to the top of the formation and walk off to the north (climber's left).
Not a great route, but perhaps worth doing if in the area and waiting for one of the more popular routes (which can happen more than you'd think); it's characterized by relatively easy climbing to a brief crux section but offers a nice altitude change nonetheless.
