Commitment moving from the chute to the slab buttress. It may only be 5.2 climbing but it's a "no slip0ups allowed" bit of climbing with no pro from a gnarly crash landing.
I placed a yellow Alien in the obvious slot and then climbed the chimney-like section up and slotted a nut as high, on the left, as possible. Then down-climbed back to the base section and found a decently sized foot divet on the slab to step onto. No pro till the anchor, and a massive penji, but it is easy slab. Still - not for the timid or new 5.EZ leader!

Free soloed to quickly set up TR for friends.
It was a chute that you go up.... get it... chute up. anyway, I dont know if it would be a really fun climb except for the very beginner.

Micro epic
Straightforward enough....except we had intended to get to the W.A.C. anchors to set a TR. I swear I had a guide who did that once.
It would be an understatement to say.....I got to the ledge, and balked at finishing. Looking at unprotected chimney moves - wiiiiiide - onto a steeply sloping dome, or a step up/onto the dome earlier, with just a nassty, nasty opportunity to tumble.
Finally my partner led over the left traverse mentioned above, and got the Fun Stuff anchors.
I recall, vaguely, a mention somewhere of a JTree 5.2 with an end that "just wasn't fair for a low level leader." If this isn't the one, it's a good candidate for the title.
