Description
I am adding this climb to complete the set and to add info. Climb into a left-facing corner onto a small pedestal, then continue to follow the corner and up the face and over the bulge.
The route is a bit dirty, but the pro is there when you need it. This makes a good beginner lead. It gets sun in the afternoon. You can also make it a short top rope by setting a directional below the bulge after anchoring in at Chalk Dust Torture.

Location
In the Tan Corridor, start to the left Chalk Dust Torture (the last fully bolted line in the Tan Corridor) in a rock scar. It is #39 in Fixed Pin Staunton State Park book.
I wound up downclimbing and traversing over to the anchors over Chalk Dust Torture to rappel down (not recommended). After looking through the guidebook, I now realize it's a walk off - walk north along the ridge until the rock fades into the hillside, then loop back down through Tan Corridor.
