Description:
This is most likely the best crack route in the canyon. This route is hidden in a dihedral, directly above (west) of the sand dunes parking lot and latrine area. The approach takes about 3-5 minutes. The route overhangs, and the crack gets thinner as you climb. Start with 3.5", the end with fingers. There's a trick to this route, you will see.

Fun single pitch, very well protected. Got on it at Dow's urging. Stances are easy if you stem out with the right hand. Much easier at the grade than 5.11- on Castleton or Moses.

Atomic Indian
By far our best single pitch trad route at any St. George crag. A combination of stemming and hanging crack moves lands you to the final crux section where it is a trick to sink a finger jam. Tough (but well protected) and beautiful overhanging crack. We walked past a rattler right off the trail this night, curled up for the evening. A fun day with my new Irish friends and Joe. Thank god Stacy showed up after my run at it. It was not pretty.
