Description:
Start about 20 feet left of Three Pines at a 12 foot swath of clean rock amidst lichen. (p.1, 80 ft.) Move up the face until standing on a horizontal about a ten feet up. Continue up, stepping left and right as needed. Finally, make a hard move up to a whitish left facing flake at the base of a short left facing corner (crux). Climb easy rock for another 40 feet to a ledge and belay beneath right facing flakes. (p.2) Step left and move up to the roof. Work right on good holds to a stance below a bulge. Crank through the bulge (crux) and climb easier rock to the GT.Descent Options:
Carefully walk to climber's right and rap Three Pines or finish on Anguish.

better than it looks
Did P1 only, could not find the 5.9+ G P2. P1 is good, although there is ground fall potential until you reach the good horizontal. Nice climb, felt soft.

Ruby Saturday
Surprisingly good technical face climbing on small holds. The rock is very nice when climbing is hard, a little dirty on easier terrain.
