The most difficult moves are protected and only 15 feet off the ground. Climb the wide corner on huecos and finger jams. Move up, pass the small tree, and follow the path of least resistance on unprotected slab moves to the top.

Hike off towards the D6 trail.

The hardest climbing is at the start. The route is generally well-protected. There is a section about halfway up which is a bit suspect. I tried to clear this, but it didn't budge. Climb to the top, and belay off a tree at the climber's left. It is easiest to the hike off climber's right and join the D1 trail.

The toughest part of this climb is reaching the first placement. Climb a bouldering style start. About 20 feet up, you will get a #0.75 as your first piece. Climb the finger/hand crack for another 45 feet and into the final 20 foot diagonal traverse to the top.

If toproped, it is best to skip the 20 foot traverse. There is a good tree above for a natural anchor.
