It is Rt of, and around the corner from "Whirlwind****/10a" on the E facing smooth triple bulge arete. Crux is 1st to 2nd bolt thru thin area then great pockets to top.

4 out of 5 stars a hike down

After climbing pockets all morning I cam up to this thin, no holds, swinging hanger, one bolt anchor, better walk off route..what a change!!
Ther is a walk off if yo go up to the top boulder and look off the back side

This is the second climb on the Ridge Area we did to find no anchors!!! (or feasible walk-off) at the top. Very disappointing. This one, at least, had a "okay" boulder to sling with some thin stuff we happened to have. Bring webbing & quik link (or better yet, drill a couple rap bolts while nobody's looking!) PS: Later found out simul-rappel is the answer.
