Description
Before rappel anchors were installed atop the Pea Brain, this was the historic descent route for the formation (most people rappelled the lower portion from slings around a jammed boulder). The line makes an OK ascent route for geriatrics.
Start at the height of land in the rocky canyon between Pea Brain and Fat Freddy's Cat. There's a boulder leaning against the base of the Pea Brain face, directly under a water runnel that leads to a gully. This is the start of the route.
Climb the short water runnel (crux) to a couple jammed boulders and a small oak. Climb the gully above, using a hand crack in the back of the gully and stemming to reach the top.
Move left and rappel from an anchor down
