Description Suggest change

Climb up a slab, over 2 lumps, and past a little pine tree. The crux is working out toward the edge of the south-face on moderately thin feet, going up, and over.

Hiro adds:
After you get up onto the rib, it's easy going, the middle of the route is the difficult stuff. Also note that there's a nice, healthy, little tree below the second (?) bolt (a pin actually), which gets in the way of the rope. I went right to avoid the rope on the the tree, and used a shoulder length runner to keep the rope away from the tree/rock. My partner went left of the tree (which I think is easier climbing) but spent the time to try to get the rope over and around the tree

Location Suggest change

This route is the first bolted route to the right of "Brutal Planet," the obvious crack toward the left side of the formation.

Protection Suggest change

5 bolts and 2 pitons lead to a 2 bolt anchor. One piton is "hidden" behind the small pine tree (3rd clip) & is well-served if extended with a sling.
