Description
Climb the obvious leftward leading line through a roof on steep sidepulls and gastons. Take a no-hands rest then climb back right to a huge detachted block with a tree growing out of the base then climb to the top of the block to the anchor.
According to the first ascentionist, Tyler Spires, the route originally topped out the wall up and left of the existing anchor through a notch and finished among the trees. A later party decided to cut out the top portion and place the anchor in the existing location then added and extension above (Big Leg Emma). Although the new anchor location is more practical in many respects and is considered the route's anchor by the current community, the final bolts still exist up and left and you can top out the cliff (not recommended due to loose rock, dirt and erosion concerns). PLEASE BE SURE NO ONE IS BELOW YOU IF YOU DECIDE TO TOP OUT THIS ROUTE!
