Description
From the bulletin board at Hidden Valley Campground, turn around and walk approximately 50' west to the base of the route.
Jam up hand crack for 10', then angle diagonally up and right. About two-thirds of the way up the route, step left and continue up vertical finger crack (crux) to top.
Belay on gear, NOT the bolted anchor to the right.
Descent: Single rope rappel from 2-bolt anchor 20' right of the top of the climb.
Safety Note: I have witnessed multiple parties attempting to toprope the route off of the rap anchors which lie 20' to the right of the route. Really bad idea, as a fall would result in a phenomenal swing to the right.
