P1. Wander up low 5th class rock, passing possible great placements. At the base of the main slab, angle slightly up and left to belay at the base of an obvious crack at the right end of the large overlap (#2 Camalot, yellow Alien and middle stopper for belay).

P2. Climb up the obvious crack with decent but not excellent pro aiming for the small tree above the overhang (bring a 2nd #2 Camalot and possibly some larger cams). Place gear just before the roof (stoppers, tiny Aliens) and move up and left through the roof on big holds. Ramble to the top. Mostly lower 5th class, a bit of 5.5 on pitch 2.

P1. Climb up the groove (Superlight Rocks/small brass and tiny Aliens/cams) past the crux (5.6) to the horn. Move up easier rock (more tiny gear) to a ledge. Place a 0.75 Camalot and take the slab right of the tree in the obvious corner (the seams take good Aliens and SL rocks) to a nice ledge (1 and 3 Camalots).

P2. There is a nice looking but short (6-foot) finger crack on the left. Take this (5.5, perfect stoppers) to easier climbing up the groove with good Aliens in undercling flakes. Continue up, move left on a flake hand traverse (large stopper thread) then up on low 5th class to the top.

Move up excellent, featured, water polished rock with very good protection with small gear (and more placements that can be cleaned out). After about 50 feet, the great rock ends and the angle eases. Place a bomber green Camalot and traverse almost straight left to a good tree belay on the left shoulder. Scramble easily down to the descent gully.

This route is on a really nice section of rock. Its only flaw is its short length.
