Description
Continue on the path that led to The Far Side, past the rock with Step To The Left. About 40 feet later, there's a steeper path leading downhill. Follow this for ~100 feet to another large rock, Boneless Chicken Ranch is the first climb on the rock, with a very easy beginning, leading to a vertical face.
Once you get onto the vertical portion of the climb, it seems like one long crux. Lots of pocket fun.

Protection
4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor shared by Seymour Frishberg. Not run out on the difficult portion. Avoid rope drag if you're top-roping.
BRING THOSE CAMS! I hadn't read this, and summit's bay area top-ropes doesn't mention it. The final moves were dirty, and I wasn't very pleased to find myself without any pro moving to the last bolt. You'll deck from the upper ledge on the final 5.9ish move getting to the last bolt, and this is a good 70' up.
