Description:
Start in the Kennel Fodder (and Blue Balls rappel) gully. Climb the less-than-vertical face opposite Kennel Fodder, generally heading up and right. Climb just to the right of two low pockets -- a so-so Tri-cam in the left -- and mantel onto a ledge. Place an 2.5" Friend at the ledge and another Tri-cam slightly higher. Climb to an overlap, get an okay TCU/Alien placement in the best of the questionable rock. Then climb up and right (crux) to a couple shelves -- Whew! -- for a good passive brown Tri-cam. Other options exist. Follow cracks and flakes to a good horizontal at the level of the tree and chockstone rap. Build a belay with 2" - 4" pieces.Descent Options:
Traverse over to the tree and chockstone rap. Or top out and walk off.

Finally tried this face.
Noticed at this face several times when rapping off anchor above Blue Balls. Rope soloed this line. Cool climbing, but down low it climbs like a face route, i.e. if you see a placement, by all means, put some gear in it! Overlap below the crux is reminiscent of the Shithook flake -- flexy, funky, friable in places -- and the next gear is a ways above. So be careful where you place your gear. Could easily be 6+/7-.
