Description:

Serious route. Involves climbing on some unstable rock and challenging protection. This route follows the crack that diagonals to the right. Start below and slightly right of the crack and boulder up and left (felt like 5.9 to me but what do I know....TA) to reach the crack. First opportunity for pro is about 10 to 12 feet up. Follow crack until it is possible to make a traverse right into another crack system. Carefully climb over several bulges (kinda chossy) to the top (about ten feet left of the anchor bolts on Taco Time. Use a tree about 30 feet back for the belay.
