Description:

Start in the obvious left-leaning corner immediately right of Smells Like Pine. Pass the first roof on the right, and the second roof (formed by a big finger of rock sticking out to the right) on the left. Finish with a wee traverse to the left to the tree anchor at the top of Smells Like Pine. After the FA, there was still some dirty holds in the middle section that need to be cleaned off. There was some debate among the first ascentionists if this was a 5.7 or 5.8, so it could be at the high end of 5.7.
