An Eye to the West
Ok route, not near as good as Tossed Green. Crux if off the deck trying not to steal your fingers with gear. Fairly laid back after that. Tossed Green has a fixed rap at the top that is hard to make out in the shade. Takes some exposure to reach. Gets no sun in January. With Chad from CA.
