Description 

A fun route with a thin and tricky start. Despite the name, loose rock on this climb is not a problem (though wet, seeping rock often is). Not exactly a routine 5.7.

Starting on a face with sparse protection, move up to a fixed pin about 20' up. Continue to the base of a right-facing dihedral with good protection, then climb the dihedral and on up to finish at a big ledge.

Location 

Starts about 20' left of Winter's Respite. Rap from ring anchors.

Protection 

Standard rack, nothing bigger than 2". Bolted anchors at the lip of the ledge.
