Location

This is the middle of three climbs that leave from this ledge/ alcove. It starts 20’ left of Dihedral Route in a right facing corner.

The descent is a quick walk off. Head straight back to the south, then traverse west towards the obvious sandy couloir, which will wrap you back around to the base.
