Description

Roughly 15 feet downhill (south) of 5.12 Comes to Wintergreen is a fist to hand sized crack. It snakes to the left and up, reaching a good stance after about 10 feet. Follow the ever thinning crack to crimps and sidepulls which will bring you under the a V shaped notch in the roof. Pull the roof and layback/chimney to reach the slab up above, and a medium sized tree which can be used as an anchor.

You can set up a TR on this route if you scramble up the gully between the Guide's Route and 5.12 Comes to Wintergreen.

Protection

Standard trad rack. It gets thin while pulling the roof and a rough fall is possible.
