Description:
About 50 feet left (west) of Shame, an obvious right-facing dihedral: crack climber's dream. Slab start to big stuff, to vertical crack, getting a little thinner up higher. Exit left to ledge, with chain anchors. A thin crack to the right of Ant Killer can also be done as a variation (5.9+): ascend to where you have to traverse left to Ant Killer. Second pitch can be the same as for "C", accessed by a 5.6 crack with a tree in the way (could be a real nasty fall), then go left to the exit gulley/chimney. Highly recommended!!

Really fun, I think the crux is the lower 20 feet.
