Description
Start at the thin crack about ten feet right of LA Woman.
Make one steep move off the ground on a positive layback leads to a good hold and a good piece (something like a 0.4 Camalot). Coming off before getting the gear in would be bad - have a good spotter and use caution. More good gear and good jams above. Upper part is grainy, but the perfect jams more than make up for it! Bring webbing or cord to refresh the tat anchor if you want to rappel (there's a slung boulder with a quick-link) or climb 4th-class slabs to the top of the formation and walk off towards the Rock Garden Valley side (but angling left towards Lost Horse Road, not right towards Rock Garden Valley proper).
