Description

It's a little bit dirty, but what do you expect from a trad climb at a backwoods sport crag?

Start in the fists/off-fists crack 15 feet left of the large corner.  Burl your way through the first 15 feet of 3.5-4 sized crack.  Once established over the roof, pull up into a small corner, and follow the pleasant hand crack up and right to a mossy ledge.  The route crosses a sport climb at this point, and you will pass right by a bolt.  Clip it if your conscience allows it; skip it otherwise.  

Either way, you're aiming for a right angling hand crack that turns into a horizontal undercling crack.  After the traverse, the route intersects Saddle Up.  Finish by pulling the upper roof of Saddle Up, then running it out to the chains.

Location

Starts 15 feet left of the large corner system at a small roof split by a fist crack.

Protection

Singles .3-.5. Doubles .75-4. Bring several shoulder length slings.
