Description:
Starts in the middle of a low-angle buttress that looks like broken rock for the first 30 feet or so. 5 feet right of a large, peeling-bark yellow birch tree. Look for the 2.5 foot "roof" about mid-height. The climb surmounts two flakes, another 20 feet of easier terrain before it hits the "roof." Climb the roof up the left side on decent holds to a thin crack. Live in the thin crack to the top (2 bolt anchor).

Nice route
The first 30 feet are nothing to write home about, but the top section, from the roof on up, is great.

Ascent Note
This was a fun climb, especially since it earned us a view of the lake and cannon mtn. Amanda and John followed with ease, then Gunther showed up and followed, too.
