Description:
On the beautiful wall opposite Golden Dream. Go up to the top of the flake, and up whatever way you can. If you can reach up to the horizontal cracks this climb is no harder than 5.6. If you have to use intermediate holds, it's much harder - feet and hand holds are sparse and small. Beautiful balancey climb. If you can't make the reach, I'd call it a +8ish.

Great climb
Good technical climb. Really hard (5.9?) for those under 5'4".

Ran another lap
Just because I could. Tried to go straight up, but, I couldn't make the horizontal.

5.6 MA!
As a shorty, I found the move off the ledge to be reachy. I went far right, cranked a high left foot, matched on one crimper and pulled the move. I would not want to lead this!
