Description:
Sloped blocky gray face to the right of "Devil in the White House" is longest easy route at Pilot Mtn. Start to right of large deep angled crack at end of the "Devil" face, before the other notch. More lichens and fewer holds to right, some dirt and loose rock, with variety of rock and moves and holds on short vertical faces with many ledgey tops. Upper left is like "Devil" with exciting juggy overhangs. Work top as dihedral for 5.5 ascent.

I tried this carrying a light pack and no rope yet, got to the tiny cave and said "Nope." I wanted to top-rope the sloping face between the crack and the gully, but did not see an un-roped way to get safely to the prominent tree, or to get to the rings. This is not a place I would want to climb enough to bother with gear, or fall to what gear would swing to.
In my opinion, it should not be listed, as if it would keep the kids busy safely.
