Description
Start in chimney formed by detached giant flake. There is a bolt at the stance on top of the flake. Move right then up easy face to hanging 2-bolt belay. Chickenhead hike to top, belaying off tree*. EFR doesn't give any stars, but the wannabe alpinist in me likes the idea of a summit, so I like this route. Fun and easy.
*Check that, apparently the tree has gone AWOL.
Location
Begins in obvious alcove/chimney formed by big flake at left end of the west side (closest to road). Descent: Walk off to the north (away from face and left) and you will find a good tree with rap slings. Drop down into gully here on a short rap then walk off north and west.
Protection
A few nuts and cams are good, slings for chickenheads, draws for one bolt and belay. Easy climbing, so expect to run it out.
