Description:

This classic route folows the right-facing dihedral to the right of a black water streak. Follow the crack up and around a bulging roof, then up the twin cracks on the face above it to a belay. Easy scrambling leads up to the ledge and a belay. From here, head up the easy slab aiming for the right side of the large roof, and follow the right facing dihedral to the top. Several variations at the start can increase the difficulty to 5.8, i.e. the face behind the big pine, and the right side of the roof instead of pulling into the twin cracks on the face.
