Description:

Located near middle of east face between Ball Bearing and Western Saga. Start up and left onto a ledge with a small tree and climb up a thin crack. Then traverse up and right along good positive hand holds to gain access to the roof. Make a long reach for a huge jug on the roof and pull up and over it. Belay at the big ledge above the roof. Second pitch climbs up and right following the crack system to a perfect finger crack and then a beautiful dihedral handcrack to the top.

Descent Options:

Walk off to climber's left, first to the top then down the slab.
