Description:
Start at the same spot as South Africa, and after the finger crack, traverse left, around and up the face. The end is the crux with a 3ft overhanging crack that you feed your whole arm into. Belay from the top of the overhang and then scrmble down to the bolted rapel station. F.A. Lowell, Sterns (1973)

Led poorly. Joe seconded
A cam almost stuck. And higher up, a pro caused huge rope drag--cost many blisters on my hand & lost times.

First lead with half ropes
The crux was getting over the roof and into the finger lock crack. The move around the left side of the small roof was a little dicey, standard Quartz mindset.

Unroped fun
We unroped this climb but continued on to the top of the mountain instead of Amazon's anchors. Fun and scary!

Led
A good route, after the horrible Quartz slab start. All the hard moves can be protected, but take care too much gear and you could end up with a lot of drag. The funny little jam crack to finish adds a final touch. You feet go to sleep standing behind the flake to belay, making the walk down to the chains interesting.
