Description

Surprisingly nice, easy climb.  Start beneath the big, right-facing corner.  Climb the corner past ample gear placements to the overhang, move out right and around the overhang and up to the top.  Continue up and slightly right to a good size tree and belay.  At this point you're just a short distance off the trail.

Descend either by turning right on the trail and walking down the trail to the large pine with rap rings or walk-off up to the left and finding the main West Face Trail that leads back down to the Stairmaster.

We named it Two Iron Shot because there's two old iron pins on it (one is a ring pin and the other an old blade) and underneath a root of the belay tree at the top there is golf ball!  WTH?!?!

Location

Find the upper entrance to the Old Hemlock Grove.  The climb is just around to the right from the obvious shallow crack of Organically Inclined, which splits a steep wall.

Protection

Nothing special. Standard trad rack.
