Description 

Orange Out Direct is one thee moderate classics to do at the Overlook. From the base, climb up jugs to gain a nice corner with moderate moves, always headed toward the big overhang above. At the top of the moderate corner, a burly overhanging jamcrack (crux) puts you in a cool (and unbelievably moderate as it turns out) overhanging chimney that takes you to the top.

Location 

Center of the wall, about 25 feet to the right of the Morning's Mourning corner.

Protection 

Nuts and cams from small up to about #2 Camalot size. Maybe take one #3 Camalot size.
