Description:
Good 2-pitch route on the crag's far right side that scales a left-facing corner. Pitch 1 offers great, thin climbing up the corner through 2 cruxes. The guide claims fixed pro in the corner, but it is gone and small wires are required. Pitch 2 continues up and left on slab to a crack and over the small roof and finishes to the summit.

This is a super asthetic line. When I saw it from the road it looked really straight forward and a little easy but it has your attention from start to finish. There was one fixed micro nut when I was there. This is definately made harder by the gear. You can fiddle in decent pro but it takes your hand holds and the longer you fiddle the more it burns. There were parts I ran out and parts I fiddled. I don't know that my fiddling did much because I still didn't feel a fall would end well. The second pitch is stellar crack climbing that ends it so sweetly.

I remember this as being a fun balancy climb on the right side of the face.
