MapDescription
This is route number 38 in the 3rd Edition of Swartling's and Mayer's guide.
"Face opposite small tower. Start on left side of face, then angle up and right to small inside corner. Climb to upper ledge, then up crack or right corner to top."
Location
There is an obvious pit/cave at the bottom of this route, to the climbers right. The 5.8 variation to this route, "Hissing Vulture", starts in the bottom of this pit. Follow the northeast trail from Misery Gully, if coming down from the Frigate. Or head up the southwest trail leading from Porkchop Buttress.
Protection
Nuts and small cams. There is no protection for the last ~10 feet, and a leader faces a ledge fall here.
