Description 

Probably the most interesting route on the crag, Donald Duck climbs a little steep terrain and feels even steeper than it is. Unlike other routes at the crag, this one is pretty secure and would protect well on lead.

Head up a crack through a steep spot off of the ground and pull right (steep) heading up to a second bulge. Pull over and left under a fin of rock on the arete and then up and right over it (steep) onto the right arete. Ride this on easier terrain to the East Summit.

Descend via a rappel above the route 'Doc' in the notch just to the West on the South Face or downclimb one of the easier routes.

Location 

This route is the right-most route on the South Face of Cartoon Crag. It stays just left of the arete on cracks and flakes for 2/3 of its length before pulling onto the right side of the arete, on the East Side.

Protection 

A standard light rack to 3".
