Description 

This short climb follows a left-facing flake system. Once the flakes are surmounted (crux), move left onto the rounded arete and head up on easier ground.

Location 

This short climb ascends the obvious flake system on the right side of the buttress.

Protection 

About midway, the the flake system accepts small pro that will protect the crux moves. The top is runout but easy. A tree at the top provides a nearly perfect toprope anchor.
