Buried Treasure (5.4) was led today by Laurie Steckler, belayed by Dave. It was Laurie's first lead EVER, and was done onsight. The route is 5.1 to the birch, then 5.4 up a short steep wall to Hock's Ledge. It can be top roped from the Hock Shot (5.9) anchor for the longest link-up at the Crag (link-up has yet to be done...)
