Description
Follow the apparent, right-trending crevice up to the larger/more left tree at a large ledge.
As for the rest of the climbs on the lower tier, this one has lots of dirt, vegetation, and lichen, so watch those feet! Also, some of the flakes may pull off if you tug too hard (trust me on this one).

Location
This route is very apparent. You can't miss it!
Belay from above at the larger tree a few steps below the beginning of Touch and Go (on the upper tier). To descend, walk around behind the big tree and down to the smaller tree.
Bolted rap anchors (one cold-shut and one hanger with chain) will get you down, about 80'.
