40m, 3 pitches.
Normally climbed on its first pitch only, since everything else is part of other independent lines.
1) 20m 5b. Climb the small grey corner below the crevasse of the main slab. After the corner, make a hard move right to the crack and follow this to the base of Medium Cool (right end of a grassy terrace underneath a huge hanging slab).
2) 10m 4c. Follow Medium Cool to the tree (So, climb the left-facing corner and move left to a small pine tree. Continue left under a good break under the hanging slab. Pull up and right onto the slab and reach the big tree). From the tree, traverse all the way left (same as Scary Monsters) to the corner and step down for a belay.
3) 10m 5b. Pull left into the quartz vein of Rattlesnake and finish up this.
