Description

There is no fixed gear, there are no fixed belays and the rock requires care. This is adventure in the best spirit of a Scary Larry style route; so I don't break out pitches. Have an adventure and buy Jerry Handren's guide. Have fun!---Head up and right following the easiest terrain and swing right into the white groove. Up this through some crunchy rocky with care until the groove narrows just as you hit the pink band. I moved right then back left traversing hard left to resume easier and a bit more solid crack climbing (You probably traverse about 40' left of the lower white groove to reach the crack.). Up the crack a few pitches until it widens in the last steep bit before it eases off to a ramp / groove. Gain the chimney above and follow it to the top. I escaped left ~20' shy of the top just before a bush guarding the upper crack.

Location

About 150' right of the start of Cat Scratch Fever below and slightly left of a white groove / inside corner.

Protection

Trad rack up to maybe 8" if you want to sew up the wide bits. The chimney is wider than that however. If you got there though, you're probably comfortable in this sort of terrain and can fish in strange gear in the pockets on the left wall if you want some reassurance.
