Description

The route offers steep but positive climbing up the dike system with the added security of a wide crack/flare. Minimal protection is to be had, but the nature of the climb makes it feel secure. Two stars out of five.

Location

You'll find this short but enjoyable route on the south face about 30' right of Suffering Catfish. Look for a vertical dike system in the back of a chimney/flare.
