Location 

East Face
A buttress to the left of the Peek-a-boo gully below a tree ledge. It is the closest route right of Hidden Crack.

Description 

First Pitch: Climb up a buttress with three bolts and two horizontal cracks (first being the Cornsnake Crack) before the tree ledge with two anchor bolts.

Second Pitch: Starts out to the left of the tree above the anchors. There is about twenty feet of face climbing with one bolt protecting it. Then an awesome vertical crack with many possible placements. The crux is a "blocky" move where the crack dissipates.Keep to the right of the small growth and there will be two anchor bolts. To rappel two sixty meter ropes are needed.

Protection 

First pitch: 3 bolts and 2 horizontal cracks.
Second pitch: 1 bolt and a long vertical crack.
