Approach
At base of Big Rock, following along to the right of center to the second route past "The Trough." As the path begins to ascend and get bushy with POISON OAK, the start of "Frontal Lobotomy" will be a slick moderately vertical straight forward slab.Route Description
Very basic sporty slab route with first bolt approx 15' off deck. Moving past the first bolt is the crux with thin sliver foot and hand holds; once clipped to second bolt the going is more 5.8ish to a community chained anchor that marks the end of three other routes.Rappel from here or traverse left onto "The Trough" for a second pitch and finish up at the summit. Rap or walk off.
