Description

Almost every move is interesting. Seems like there's no positive hold for the next move, but then you find it.

Up to the right end of the roof. Follow right-facing flakes (corners) to the top.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Location

Start under the right end of the obvious low roof on the left side of the main face of the Left side of the Jersey Vols sector.

Protection

Top-Roping: Straightforward to set up top anchor with static line. Hike+scramble around the right side to reach the top.

Protection for Trad leading is inadequate.
