Description:
Start just right of Mosquito off of a large boulder. Follow the bolts and features to the top. Different than a lot of squamish climbs in that there are a lot of face holds.

wet and a little slippery but still good. Only need small gear. All trad to chain anchors.

As fun as Mosquito!
Climbed when wet, scary. Nicely protected only if you have some nuts and cams.

Easy after Mosquito
Nice crimpy holds. Some gymnastics required at the beginning, but from there, it is nice going.

High step & rock on!
Lots of balance-y face moves on bulges and ledges - makes a nice complement to the lovely crack climbs in the area. We topped it after climbing Mosquito & Phlemish Dance. Easier than it looks, but it is a bit tricky.
