Description This climb lies up the left side of the large flake that leans against the prominent face just west of Echo Tee.
A short hand crack leads over a roof to jugs (pro to .75" here) after which a committing mantle sequence leads to the first bolt. Steep and greasy smears head upward with an easy but runout section after the last bolt.
Don't be fooled by the easy rating of this climb as it requires a variety of techinques and a cool head to succeed. Interesting moves on good rock merit this two stars out of five.
Protection 3 bolts, 2 bolt anchor/rap (all bolts 3/8")

| A bomber nut can be placed in the crack just above the roof to protect the mantle move. A couple of 5.9 moves once on the slab. |

| I'm going out on a limb and giving it three stars. Yes, it's short, but has some fun, very un-Jtree moves at the start. Bonus 1/2 point for originality, and it's a quick and easy tic. |
