Description

This is the easiest way to top out from the large ledge at the base of the crux pitches of

Green Slab Direct

,

Green Sleeves

, etc. The route takes a groove just to the left of that face and tops out after two pitches.

Start at the left side of the ledge by a tree. Climb the groove and belay in a nice alcove (100 feet). Climb straight up out of the alcove, past some loose blocks and a bit of chossy rock (standard Eldo fare for less-traveled routes), and continue more or less straight up until you can bear left towards a large tree near the top (120 feet).

(The route name and first ascent information were obtained from Steve Levin's guidebook to the canyon.)
