Description
Short but fairly entertaining this climbs the east face of the large boulder with T-N-T (5.10c), which lies on the north face.
Climb atop a short flake lying against the face to clip a bolt (1/4") which protects crux face moves. Above the climbing quickly eases off, and while slightly runout the climbing is easy enough to not be a concern.
Belay from the bolts atop T-N-T and descend off the low-angled west side of the boulder.
