Head up Blodgett Trail until you come to a small stream. Go right across the stream, and continue on the trail until you can see a large boulderfield. Cross the boulderfield, and head up to the base of the rock face. There is a tree protruding out of the wall sideways to mark the start of the route. To get down, follow the trail off the top and back down around the mountain.
