At the right end of the rock ramp is a short wall with 4 bolts. Climb this to a 1 bolt anchor (back it up with small cams). The next pitch climbs up the right side of a big right facing corner, then a traverse left onto an arete. Pass a bulge and then up to a 2 bolt anchor.

I dont know why peope climb at dino head, the rock absolutely sucks! This route was kinda fun, except having to trust a few loose-feeling holds in places where a fall would mean a painful crash into the side of the cliff. I wouldn't do it again.

Skipped first pitch by rapping down from Raspberry Arête. Nicer rock here.
