Description
Fun jamming and lie-backing are to be had on this route with the crux a bulge partway with only smears for your feet. At the top set an anchor just below the top and belay; to descend walk right (east) and rap from bolts atop Lucky Lady with a single rope.
Yet another great route in an area stacked with classics; done in conjunction with several of the others in the area it makes for an excellent half to all day destination
* Be warned though that this area is extremely popular, so plan accordingly if your route of choice is taken.

Location
This attractive crack is located on the narrow east face of Houser Buttress and requires a bit of scrambling to reach the base. From the base of Puss N' Boots head right, turn the corner and then up boulders to an alcove at the base of the route.
