Description:

Begins at the top of a gully to the left of the Dat-Mantle/Dis-Mantle block. P1: Climb the large right facing corner past the small tree. Just before the overhang at the very top of the corner, traverse left out onto the face to a semi-hanging belay. P2: Diagonal up right a short ways, then climb straight up the face to a short, blocky left facing corner (listed incorrectly as a right facing corner in the Gray Dick), follow the obvious good holds up to the large pine tree belay/rap station.

4 out of 5 stars I liked it!

Climbed this with my son. The first pitch was really fun – a dihedral with some G and some PG sections, but mostly G. The dihedral ends at a roof, and moving out from the dihedral onto the face provides some exciting exposure. The 1st belay ledge is shared with Funny Face and it is difficult to set up a good anchor – there is adequate pro but it is spread out wide. The second pitch was more difficult to protect and a little scary at times (maybe R?), but within my capacity to climb.

Got a little lost on the first pitch and ended up right of the intended belay point
