Description
Start at the slabby block on the left side of the White Face area. Pull on parallel cracks and reach for the lip after a high step (1st crux). Go right or left of the tree growing in the center of the ledge formed by this block. Then head straight up the middle (and steepest) part of the White Face slab passing two horizontal cracks. Pull a very slight bulge (the "collar") to exit the slab onto a big, grassy/dirty ledge. Now aim right of the small birch tree growing out of the cliff; squeeze yourself between the tree and the vertical White Face cliff (left of "Hot Shot"). Mantel and pull an overhead, horizontal crack to get you on a sofa-sized ledge. Finish at the offwidth crack.
This climb is a bit contrived but offers a variety of climbing techniques.
Location
This is the furthest left start for White Face routes. Start at the slabby block with two parallel cracks and a tree at the top (about 10' of the deck).
Protection
Sling the lower tree, and bring cams up to 3". Bomber nut placement(s) can be made after the final offwidth section.
