Description 

Start in the "zigzagging" cracks that have a little rail in between them. Once high enough to clip the first bolt, traverse left and then continue up on some sweet chicken head/slab moves to clip one more bolt. Pass a horizontal crack and then enter a 10' easy lieback section to the anchor

I added this route just to give people a sense of the climbing in hatcher pass. But, I think the description above actually describes two different routes. For the actual "Zig-Zag" you are not supposed to traverse left, but continue up the crack. And the face route is actually "Center Slab Left." ?

Location 

To the right and around the corner of the chicken head slab route. To the left and around the corner of Orangutan.

Protection 

Small pro for the zigzags and the horizontal will take like .5"-1" (or something like that)
