Description:
This route is 50 yds left of the Shortcake Wall routes. It starts on a crazy tufa formation, to a high first bolt (20'), but very easy climbing to that bolt. Left of the first bolt is a huge cave, with a dead tree sticking out of it. The tree is about 18" in diameter, and 10' long - sticking out at a 30 degree angle. Climb the face of the tufa-thing directly to the first bolt. The move to the next bolt is 100% mental - it's totally an intimidation move, but not difficult at all. Last bolt and top out are where the 5.9 moves are - good side pulls and foot placements make it much easier.

Very High first bolt
The first bolt is so high you can't even stick clip it. However, the climbing up to that point is pretty easy. The route is a little dirty because not a lot of people get it on it. I thought it was a fun route. Going past number two presented a bit of commitment because you have to go from a great ledge you are standing on out onto the face.
