Description
This is a good route to combine with the routes at Private Idaho and Them for a bunch of 5.9 climbing next to each other.
Location
Located at the left side of the cliff. Approaching from the west (nearer Rattletale), at a short crest in the trail you will see a gully with a knotted hand line. Although you can go up this handline, it is better to continue up the trail until you are directly underneath the route. Just to your right is another gully-corner with a handline direct to the route's base.
The climb is in an overlap area with a steep white wall on the right (the Bobcat Cringe) and right behind a huge fir tree on the ledge. A little to the left is a flared, left-facing chimney below a huge roof.
Rap with 1 rope.

History
The very first route at Lookout Point. The first time there we got to the base by scrambling up the gully directly below the route, grabbing some vine maple branches. Perhaps only a year or so later we added the handline to the next gully down (west). That handline, at what, 40 years on, is still solid. But a newer handline is often drier and more direct in the original gully, uphill and east.
