Description 

This route starts in a right-facing corner to an overhang/alcove about 30 feet right of the deep chimney between the North and South Astro Domes. At the top of the first pitch, you can move left and belay from bolts. From here, climb a slab up to a horizontal crack, traverse right to a jamcrack in a low-angle left-facing corner, follow this up to a right-leaning lieback flake that leads to the top.

The first pitch is dirty, and currently has a large Raven's Nest in the alcove on the first pitch.

The second pitch is clean, with good climbing, and can be accessed via Zion Train or In Search of Hush Puppies.
