Description
Once you reach the cliff, find the obvious low overhangs with plenty of pleasant holds in the perfect corner and a tree approximately 50 feet up. Climb to the tree and belay, then climb the pleasant offwidth of sorts to the belay tree. Belay, then walk climber's left around the overhang to scramble to the true summit for a worthwhile view.
