Despite the name, this route can be tough for the climber new to jamming. Perfect hands to a small ledge, then thinner and thinner to finger locks to finish. For an easier finish, traverse slightly right.Descent Options:
Gear anchor or an exposed traverse east then scramble to the canyon rim.

This was a cool crack, good warm up and a great introduction to the area, even though below the new place is much better rock. Tricky start.

First lead fall on gear
Fell on the last move to finish. Luckily the undercammed red metolius held. Finished on the easier terrain to the right.
