The smooth wall to the right of the overhangs, with a large ledge in the
middle where Yogi's Dream finishes. Start slightly right of centre and climb
on big holds, with no pro. From the ledge move right to the corner to place
pro, climb the wall beside the corner for a few moves, and then move leftward
across the wall to finish on the left (wires near the top). Charles Sparrow,
1970.
