Description:
This route is left of gold finger, and ascends the wall up and right of new dimensions. The line is visible from the parking lot as a rock scar. Climb loose rock to a small ledge with trees. On the right side of the ledge is a flake, sling this, and climb it. The first moves up into the route, a nearly crackless flake system, are the most committing. There is pro behind a small bush, and very small nut placements further left. Also a hidden piton. The line is now obvious as is the crux. Above the crux is easier climbing on questionable rock. There is a rappel sling too. If going for the second pitch, there are two bad options to arrive at a belay ledge. Climb verticle weeds or go right into an unclimbed mossy crack. 150 ft. The second pitch is 60 ft. of overhanging fist flare to 5.10 hummocks with gear. Rappel from the trees.Descent Options:
