Description:
One of the best routes in Oklahoma. Three interesting and cool pitches. First pitch (90 feet)- Start at the base of the obvious crack to the right of the slab. Climb this until it almost pinches out, then step right and over to a belay at a decomposing ledge with two bolts and a chain. Second pitch (70 feet) - climb up the crack into a corner then traverse left under the overhang to the belay at two bolts on the slab below Buns Up. Third pitch (90 feet) go up into the corner and then traverse left under the overhang again to a bolt at the corner, then around and up an easy corner. Build your own belay anywhere once you reach easy ground. Walk off to the left and down the gully for the descent.

Cruise!
Nice route for the grade. Only worked the first pitch. Lead the thing in approach shoes, which is probably the better way to go as it makes the foot jams painless. A joke.
