Description
In spite of its name, this is a surprisingly good route.
Due to the poison ivy challenge in mid-route, we opted for soloing the route rather than drag our rope through the evil weed.
Start on the East face immediately left of the large overhang/dihedral that splits the face. Climb up the gully under the overhang, and arrive at a large ledge. The ledge is indeed covered with vegetation, with lots of poison ivy, but this time of year you can easily pick you way through the leaveless twigs. Or you can walk around the patch by heading South.
From here, the dihedral is well defined and a long flake/crack marks the route to the top. The rock's quality is some of the best I have seen in The Flatirons, and the climbing is aesthetic and fun. From the top, head East and downclimb 10 feet to reach the base of the summit block near the start of the descent crack.
Descent - downclimb the steep crack West of the summit.
