Description Climb the broken, unappealing rock below the small roof and pull through the roof (crux), passing a bolt along the way, to a hand-sized crack. Follow the crack to easier, albeit dirty, rock above with a little space between protection. Belay off of trees at the top.
Opinion: This seems like a very very very easy 5.8+. No where near the burlfest of the similarly-graded Clutch and Cruise.
Location Start: Approximately 50 left of the start for North Country Club Crack at a section of broken rock. There is a small roof with a single bolt below the roof.
Descent: There is no fixed anchor at the top. Either follow the walk-off trail down from the top or walk down to the fixed anchor for North Country Club Crack.
Protection One bolt below the small roof. No fixed anchors at the top.

| If someone wants to add more detailed gear info or anything else, post a comment and I'll amend the route info. It's been a while since I climbed this so my memory isn't as clear. |

| Greg,
I think your description is spot on, and I would amend it at all. Your description allows the climber to judge what gear will/will not work, and if he/she wants to climb it at all. I agree, this route is a bit easy in the grade, AND very dirty to boot!! |

| Really just a one move wonder at the lone bolt... still a fun route none the less. Despite other accounts the runout slab isn't that dirty. (And it's only 5.3-5.4 for 20 ft.) |

| Loose and dirty start, fun moves pulling through the roof! Then a short crack climb to the top! |
