Description:
This curious face begins 50 feet left of Vector Trouble by some rhododendron plants. Has a low overhanging boulderish start. After the start angle left to a ledge. Head up the easy face to a less than easy arete which leads to a small ledge with anchors.

Top Rope ascent by:
A bit stiff...
Felt a quite burly at times and that arete section is kind of thin... bouldery start was fun but probably not for everyone. Maybe I was having a weak day but this area seems to sandbag a bit on the grades... or maybe elsewhere is a bit inflated? 10b doesn't usually kick my ass quite this much, but yow was I tired. A few tough moves up to an easy middle break then the brutal arete...

Hang Dog ascent by:
Weird, kind of cool
I definitely would not recommend doing this one in the rain. I had to hang once because I didn't trust the wet moss and wet holds around the arete. Kind of a cool climb though.
