Description
This route is an interesting route, but it's short length and unintersting position merit only one star. Still, if you are at this crag, it's worth a go. On the SW face, find a drastically right-leaning crack that passes to a bulge after 5M. Clim up the crack past a crux undercling, then up over the slight bulge to the jugs and edges above. The angle up top kicks back into a crack, or you can go a little further right to finish on the Alligator Lizard face. The crux move is a little awkward, but once that is passed, the climb is easy.
