Emperor's New Clothes

Lots of interesting face climbing, but one move much harder than the rest.

Start on right center face of the low wall (about five feet left of short vertical crack going up to right-facing corner capped by a little roof). Up that face (without using the crack to the left or crack to right) and up over the pancake rock. . . (shared with the route Steadfast Tin Soldier). Step across wide ledge onto stack, then up the bulge roughly straight to the top, finishing a bit left of the top of the left-trending diagonal ramp.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

At a low wall 10 feet high with pancake rock on top below a wide ledge which is below wide overhanging bulge. . . (same as for Steadfast Tin Soldier).
