An interesting route on the lonely West face of Hemingway Buttress.  Start on scruffy rock, picking one of two branches of an inverted V crack.  Continue up the face clipping bolts until moving left to a nice seam.  From there trend left and up to the anchor.

This is a steep and sustained fingertip lieback, requiring interesting footwork.

The crux is in the first 15 feet, but it's fairly sustained crack climbing the whole way.  If it's too cold on the northeast face of the formation, walk around here for a nice route in the sun.
