Description
The main reason for climbing this is because it allows you to get down from Great Expectations or The Dihedral using only a single 60m rope, so you don't have to hike out with two ropes.
It also allows you to reach "The Sundeck", a low angle area between boulders above the slab. This can serve as a nice area to eat lunch and hang out.
From the Dihedral’s bolted anchor, walk down the slab 10-15ft, then reach over into the crack on the top of Nike and pull up onto the overlapping slab - this is the only "hard" move. Climb up on easy slab past Nike's anchors (clipping them as your only pro) and continue up to either "The Sundeck" and belay among the boulders or over walk over to the bolted anchor at the top of Tree Route and belay from there.
To descend, rap Tree Route's bolted anchor with a single 60m or 70m rope down to the tree midway with the rappel sling setup, then rappel again using a 60m rope. Use stopper knots! You will probably have to step down a few feet to reach the tree midway, and walk across the low angle slab to the tree at the base after the second rappel.
