Description
Belay and start from a flat dirt mound on the hillside, to the right of Oscar the Grouch. Head up the left side of the slab to a small ledge and the first bolt. Slab up past two more bolts before heading left and towards the horizontal overlap about a third of the way up. Place some gear and then step up onto the overlap and continue to a right angling crack seem. Continue up flakes near a bushy ledge and past a few more bolts to the anchors and a comfortable stance.
A second pitch (5.6) continues up the face past three bolts.
Location
The left side of the slab that's right of Oscar the Grouch (which has a noticeable hand crack up high). Charismatic Mime has an overlap 1/3 of the way up.
Protection
Mostly bolted but takes gear (I slotted #7 BD nut) at the overlap 1/3 of the way up. Additionally can take small gear (red BD C3) in the crack seem just past the overlap. Rap links at the anchor.
