This route was established ground up.

Approach: Park at the Grist Mill (.06 miles up from sign) Just below the Wasatch Resort is an old bridge abutments (approx. 400 yards down the trail) Cross the river here and head straight up the wash. Pick up a bouldering trail winding uphill. Pass the "Prime Rib" boulder and continue up and right on faint trail to base of climb. Approx. 20 minutes. During spring runoff it is impossible to cross the creek. You can cross higher up the canyon and traverse into the Wasatch Resort Bouldering Area and then continue up to the climb.

Descent: From the top of the 4:20 ledge it is possible to rap into the drainage to the west for an easy walkoff. Start from northern point of ledge for two raps to the west from fixed anchors. 110' and 70'. Thrash down to the main gully until you reach an impassable cliff. Traverse right (upcanyon) following the buttress edge back to the base of the climb. Approx. 15 minutes from rappel.
