Description
Long ignored route on the far right side of the lower Castle. Intimidating roof with ancient sling turns out to have nice holds for traversing left around roof. I cleaned the great crack above this that leads up to Loggers ledge.
Fred graded this 5.3, A1 for the roof in 1957
FFA: Jim McCarthy, Jim Langdon, 1968

Location
take any of the lower wall first pitch variations to ledges with maple trees. There are 2 separate bolted anchors on the right end of ledges before big gully above Amy Carter.
Go up to a notch where you drop down right and follow cracks right ( the Fault route) under the roof that has Idiots Delight to your left. You will see the Bird's nest roof as you go.A big triangular roof with a thin crack in the corner below it.
