Description 

We disagree with MP.com poster Tony B.as to his characterization of this rock climb. He must be misguided. Indeed this is a strenuous 5.10 handcrack with a spicy traverse in from the right, a good climb. Sling a ridgetop flake for a belay and do a 2nd "low 5th chimney and ridge pitch northward to a bolted anchor. Rap to the north.

Location 

Just to the right of Hanging Tree is an obvious, right-facing corner. Begin at a fine spot right of the corner and approach the corner from the right.

Protection 

Standard to #4 Camalot.
