Description 

Climb the crack 6 feet left of the fence up to a ledge. Climb the right trending shallow scoop (cams in break on right), up to the break below the overhang.

Don't hang around below the overhang too before committing to the right traverse (good gear in break) for 20 feet.

At the obvious fluting break through the overhang for a spectacular finish.

Although technically not too demanding, this climb still demands respect.

Location 

Start left of the fence at the far right of the crag
