P1: Climb the crack, corner, and face until you can move left around the arete. Follow the path of least resistance up the ledges above to a tree with rap rings in an alcove. 5.5, 90 ft.
P2: Original: thrash and swim up the gully to the cliff top. 5.5 Var: Climb the white face on the left side of the alcove behind the belay tree. Follow sharp rock, meandering a bit past a short white blunt arete, and eventually up to the GT and cliff top. 5.4
Rap from the first belay with one 60m rope. From the clifftop, either rappel Obstacle Delusion or the High E rap line, which is ~100 ft. to climber's left.
Location
Right of the alcove where Obstacle Delusion and Alpine Diversions start; left of Lichen 40 Winks and Sleepwalk. The route starts where a crack rises from the ground, and the rock forms a ceiling with the sloping ground immediately below, also just below a right-facing corner.
The latest book lists this as G/PG - I felt it was on the more-serious side of PG, and would not put a newer leader on it. The crux involves several slabby face moves, a good couple of feet above and to the side of gear.
