Description 

This route is directly left of Genuine Risk Takers.

Start up a slab that has a short, left-facing dihedral. You are basically starting behind the big pine tree at the base. Head up a slab and then a blunt arete type feature heading up to the left side of the steep headwall. Pull the headwall just left of Genuine Risk Takers via an undercling and up onto face holds. Continue up face, passing a short (2 foot long?), right-facing corner. Continue up, trending right towards small tree. The tree can be used as anchor with some stoppers and cams.

Downclimb to right to larger tree with rap station to get down.
