Description
Start sitting at the bottom of the obvious flake, w/ right hand undercling and lefthand sidepull. The back wall, being a completely separate rock, is not used. Pull off the ground and move the left hand up to a jug and then reset feet to move your right hand out to a set of crimps. Hand heel with the left and then from the matched crimps the right hand flips to a square cut undercling and the left hand then moves up to a long undercling rail above the climber. At this point remove the heel and work the right foot to square undercling, switch right hand with right toe. Left hand can move up along the rail and right hand fires up to a small sloping crimp. Toe-hook is then released, the feet are reset, and from there on climb straight up on sloping holds to an easy jug top out.
Location
This climb is on the back side of Pettaquamscutt rock, if you are facing the rock this climb is about 15' to the left of the V0 slab. The easiest way to get there is by hiking around to the right. After walking up to the trail past the basketball courts, go right at the fork in the trail and then right again at the next fork. This will send up up a short hill that goes around to the back of Pettaquamscutt rock. It easier walking this way with pads then it is trying to haul them up and over the front.
Protection
Multiple pads and one spotter would be helpful. The landing is not the best and the moves at the top of the route can feel insecure.
