Description:
Just to the right of Quicksilver, past the very thin crack, is a shallow groove with a clean finger crack. Bridge, jam and edge up the groove, with good protection in the finger crack until it gets too narrow. Run it out a bit on side-pulls and smears to exit the groove on a sloping ledge. Continue up and left along the small crack to the final groove on Quicksilver.

Ascent Note
An excellent climb (at least the initial groove)! I missread the guide and didn't realise it was a 21 when I decided to "warm-up" on it. After hang-dogging and debating awhile, I ended up aiding through the crux on a #2 BD stopper. Once on the sloping ledge I continued straight up the easy hand crack to the bush just above, where I then set up a top-rope. Not a clean, or even complete ascent, but still very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone who is comfortable setting gear, even if you normally wouldn't on a 21 (I normally wouldn't).
