Description 

Start on the face below the left end of a ledge and climb directly up past a pin to reach it, step right and pull the small roof/bulge under the v-shaped block (crux). Follow an open-book/crack system to the top, traversing left under the roof to top out.

Location 

20 feet left of the obvious Bubbafied chimney and roof system. Please bring your second up and use the existing rappel tree or the bolts on top of Werewolf or Daisycutter

Protection 

The pin may now be gone, I didn't see it as of July, 07, No bolts at the top but a good tree is several feet from the lip. Protects well with a standard rack.
