Description 

Approach the dead tree ledge by following 2 bolts through a very difficult slab, or from the right at the base of Line-of-Sight Wall. From the ledge, ascend an easy slab to a rest just below the bulge. A powerful move through the bulge puts you at the base of a shallow flaring seam. Thin sequential laybacks with desperate feet lead to a finishing jug and anchors. A completely unnecessary 5.5 2nd pitch exists, if you really want to get to the top.

Location 

This line is just right of the dead tree on the right side of September Wall, or about 40' right of the Giant Dihedral.

Protection 

9 bolts to anchors.
