Description:
20-30ft right of finish of 2nd pitch of Prune on large ledge (Old Man's) at short right facing corner. Climb corner to top. Traverse right 8 ft then up past bolt and pin. Trend right to another bolt. Climb left facing flake and final thin face to top. One of the best face climbs on the West Face! Wow Beattyjo has another good route description. I might add to back clean the corner piece in the first twenty feet unless using doubles. Otherwise rope drag becomes a SERIOUS issue.

Sweet!!!!!
Great route. Definitely place a piece low for the traverse and back clean it. Super fun going up through the dihedral! Top gets thin and keeps you working until the end. Gear is PG.

Deja Vu - Flash
I had climbed this with a buddy a few years previous, but couldn't remember much about the route.
