Climb up small knobs on the steep face past a bolt (5.9) to a small triangular ledge. Belay at a small pine tree. P2: Climb the face just to the right of a vegetated, right-facing corner, using the corner for protection. Just before the corner ends climb up and right on easy face to a gear belay at a large grassy ledge with a V-shaped crack, 5.8. P3: Climb up polished rock past four bolts to a gear belay just below a dark overlap. P4: Climb up past a shallow left-facing corner to a bolt. Step up and left to another bolt at the steep overlap. Mantle the overlap (5.11a) and continue up past bolts on easier ground to a two-bolt anchor at the headwall.
