is a wonderful line that can be done in two short pitches or one with a little rope drag. The route starts out with a stout little off width bulgy roof then moves slightly left and up a sweet 5.9 finger crack. The crux of the route is the start of the dihedral. This was the traditional second pitch. It starts out steep and stiff for 15 feet then goes up a joyfull dihedral to the top.
Location
On the far right side of the upper wall of the first buttress is a line that heads up into a prominent shallow right facing dihedral.
If you break the route up into two pitches, I would recommend traversing up and left near the top of the second pitch and gain the anchors for Three Pin. The traverse its self is very fun and it allows you to rap. If doing Maria's in one pitch, forget about it. The rope drag would be awful.
