Description

Same start as Scrub Job. Climb up to a large hole, and clip the bolt above the right-hand side of the hole. Exit the hole on the right and follow a shallow trough that angles slightly right as it ascends the wall.

It is possible to use the trough for hand holds, doing a psuedo-lieback to the right. There are just enough edges among the lichen to the right of the trough for your feet.

The difficulties continue well above the bolt. A fall near the top of the trough would deposit you very painfully in the gully. As the trough ends, follow good edges straight up to a bolt. Then traverse horizontally to the right to a third bolt. Climb straight to the top from here.

Location

Starts from the Oak Tree that grows out of a crack in the descent gully (level with the top of the first pitch of Face Lift)

Protection

3 bolts, very runout to the second bolt.

Belay from a large oak tree set back 10 feet from the top of the route.
