Description 

Fairly easy climbing through a low slot located behind a tree for about 30'. Take the one to the left (5.7+) as the route gets kind of fisty. The route terminates in an off-width (Paul Piana refers to this as a "chimney like structure" - but its not unless you are 4' tall and 60 lbs). Fire in your big cam and lay back off of the flake on the face.

Protection 

Gear to at least a #4 Camalot - might be more comfortable with a Big Bro.

Location 

This is on the far right of the Hahn Wall near the southwest end of Blair I. The descent is a walk off to the south.
