Description

A bit of an oddball awkward route, but worthwhile. Figure out the holds to start, which is easier if you are taller, and gain the very low first bolt; then move up a somewhat awkward right angling continuous seam tackling a series of mini-overhangs on the way up. Inconsistently hard with easier climbing surrounding a couple of harder moves. Good hands with smeary feet most of the way. Finishes with a cruxy layback move off the flake/crack. Falling there without the #1 cam in the crack would probably hurt.

Location

Furthest route to the left on the Main Wall NE face. Has its own anchor. Starts next to a birch tree which can be used as an anchor for the belayer; who is unfortunately positioned on a downward-sloping bed of slick pine needles.

Protection

Five Bolts. A #1 cam protects the final physical layback move off the flake/crack combo just before the anchors.
