Description 

This is a good obscure crack. Pretty easy for the grade but steep and exposed. Worth the walk and the exploring!

Location 

On the opposite side of Tamerack Creek from Tales of Power and Seperate Reality, this route is located directly above the left side of Pat and Jack's. Park at the long pullout just west of the Cascade Creek Bridge on Hwy 120. Hike through the woods and a wet section of reeds. Continue down and around small granite slopes and terraces until you reach the cliff edge. The climb is closer to the Tamerack Creek side of the cliff than the Cascade Creek side. Look for a west facing corner, this is Prime Time 5.9 Through Bein' Cool is just to the west. Look over the edge, you should see a granite ramp with a tree in the middle of it about 80 feet down. Rap to just below the tree. This is the start of the climb. Way cool place to be when Wildcat Falls is pumping!

Protection 

Standard Rack. If you need anything extra it would be 1.5 - 2.5 friends.
