Climb straight up the middle of the face over a bulge past two cracks and continue on positive, incut flakes to a ledge and a tree belay with slings. The rock quality improves, the difficulty increases, and the gear becomes more sparse as you ascend the face. There is sufficient protection to be found, probably only jalepeño spicy. This route was led ground up 12/1/07.

I guess we've got a 4 star system here, so I'm thinking two stars. We both thought it one of three stars, probably two of three with some traffic. This S.facing route makes a good winter warm up.

We believe this to be the first lead of this line after discussion with local authorities, but of course, you just never know, especially with the moderate grade and relatively obvious line.

This route begins in a small alcove just above the trail down and around the corner R. of

Positively 4th St.

and climbs the vertical face just L. of the large, R.-facing dihedral of

Working Class Hero

. This southerly exposed face is quite distinctive from the trail just below and approaching

Pos.4th St.

with 2 cracks forming an X across it at mid height. Rap off the tree with slings to the ground.

Standard Eldo rack with an long sling for a horizontal flake to protect the final moves.
