Description 

The route starts about 10 feet to the right of Sarah Palin’s Drill. Climb an easy, left-leaning slot. The climbing suddenly becomes harder as the slot bends right and the climbing changes to underclings. Follow the crack to a small gully and then up an easy slab (1 bolt) to the top.

See beta photograph for Tunnel Vision.

Ben Boykin and I climbed this route in 2011. It's probably been climbed earlier.

Protection 

Protection: #.5-#5 Camalots (also #6 if cautious), 1 bolt. Gear anchor.
