Description:
On the shady side of the Nautilus. Most easily approached from the SE side, past the Torpedo Tubes. Look for a shallow left-facing corner that starts off a block, then flips to a big right-facing corner about 12 ft up, all capped by a rightward roof traverse. First part is delightful 5.8 fingers and hands, perhaps my favorite climb at the 'Voo. Each move is aesthetic; no two moves are the same. Chains where the crack intersects the roof (1 rope rap). P2 traverses under the roof along a sloping hand ledge with undercut feet and ... well, w/out ruining the adventure for ya, let's just say wearing a snug wool hat might be helpful. (10d)

Only P1
Nice 5.8 finger to hand crack. The roof kept us dry in the rain.

1st Pitch Only...
We only climbed the stellar first pitch as we were unduely frightend off by the grade of the second pitch. The first pitch is a sweet handcrack that goes at 5.8. Just great climbing though.
