Description:

Climb the huge dihedral in the uberfall with a tree growing about 15 feet up. Traverse out the corner under the roof to an optional belay on the face (back up the pins, #3 Camalot useful here). The second pitch climbs a beautiful clean face to the top of the cliff. Walk off at the uberfall, and can be done in one long pitch.

5 out of 5 stars Scrumptious Climb

Great moves, better pro, and definitely makes you respect the older climbing generation. 5 star route.
