Description

Climb straight up to the thin vertical seam that has, as of 2012, only one one vintage piton of dubious quality remaining as your only protection for this move. Climb up the seam (crux), move right and climb an easy roof, then move left to the edge of the face and climb past an overhang to the top, or move around the corner and up an easy face to the ledge.

Rappel from a tree over Fat and Weak, to climbers' right.

Location

Approximately 125 feet left of Grease Gun Groove, the trail rises a bit and there is a large amphitheater that is bordered on the left by a large corner and on the right by a short buttress with a pine tree on its top. The seam with the pitons is easily seen. This route is on the left arete before the corner of Lonely Challenge.

Protection

Very small nuts, e.g., RPs and/or tiny camming units. The pitons don't look very trustworthy.
