Description 

This route is at the lower southwest corner of the Krishna formation, next to the creek. Start about 15 feet right of a very large detached block/pillar.

Climb a right-facing corner for about 30 feet, until you can step left to a short vertical crack. Follow the crack to the bottom of an arete. Climb the arete (11) past 3 bolts to a scoop. Pass two more bolts in the scoop to a two-bolt anchor. Lower down (caution - 90').
