The location and name of this route came from the PATC guide.  

  The route begins by climbing/scrambling about 25 ft to where the chimney and real climbing begins.  It might not be a bad idea to allow the belayer to climb up a little first to prevent rope drag, but that is up to the climbers. 

  The chimney is a great feature and protects well...finish to the top.

The Bong Move

Climb up the face aiming at the block ("Lego Block") that is about the size of a person.  This block can in my opinion be climbed on, but be sure to think about how it feels when you get there to make your own decision. 

  Continue climbing straight up the face to the top where a couple of horns provide a solid anchor. 

   Vincent Penoso: "I named this route because of the obvious block midway on the route. The block didn't move one bit even though it looks dubious in it's placement. There is an awkward move around and over this block but it is well protected....The rest of the route goes well until you reach the top section which can be protected by at the stance looking at hip level to the left for a hidden gold camelot placement. from there you can reach up and protect the move onto easier terreign."

This area is about half way along the cliff area to the right of the obvious chimney climb.  Its name comes from the large sized "lego" block about 40 feet off the ground which some debate its security.  The block in my opinion is safe to climb on, but placing gear here is not "best practice" according to regular climbers.
