Description 

The farthest right dihedral on the rock. It doesn't really look like a route, it's so short. Follow the dihedral up, occasionally using the opposite face to stem out. There's a fair amount of lichen on the route - must not be climbed often.


Protection 

Some medium length slings.

Cruel Shoes! I believe some bouldering problems actually have more moves than this route. With that said, this route proved fun and interesting. I hesitate to rate this climb in difficulty or quality because of its brevity. It didn't feel like a Boulder Canyon (9) to me. But I definitely thought it was worth the time.

I liked the moves on this climb, fun stemming and cool moves, would get three stars if it was 50 feet longer.
