Pitch 1: Climb straight up to the overhang, traverse right about 8 feet (easier if shorter), and move up to join the regular route (5.8). Continue straight up through the overhangs and rejoin the regular route at the crack below the flake (5.7~5.8). Climb the crack and flake to the overhang. Move straight up to clear the first overhang to a stance below the roof. Traverse left a few feet, then continue up to the top (5.9).

Rap off using slings with rap rings on trees.

Great route. Clip the pin under the final overhang (but back it up). I (inadvertently) took the direct route to the big crack prior to the overhang and was pretty pumped. I had a #1 Camalot in the crack, got to the lip, didn't clip the pin, tried to roll up into the little ledge, promptly fell out and took my first big trad leader fall ~20-25 ft. Lowered, reclimbed, clipped the pin, finished. Went back about a year and a half later and got the redpoint of the whole (Direct) thing, ground up.
