Climb the left facing hand crack with the crux being at the top just before the anchor.

| In Doc Blooms 2nd addition, this route is marked as #2 "unnamed" 5.11+
There were no anchors on the tips splitter nor any evidence that it had ever been climbed (flakey and loose where for sure you would clean it out to climb it)so we continued up the corner thinking the corner must have anchors. It was obvious half way up the route, to our surprise, it had not been ascended. Great route with stacks of hand jams.. There is a climb just left of this (left Facing corner to a splitter) Then left of it, is a fingers crack with a hidden anchor over a bulge that maybe Doctor Bloom was talking about and it just got miss marked in the book.. |

| Don't let the first pitch scare you away. The second pitch is hidden from below but is totally worth the effort. |
