Description 

Beautiful line with consistently sustained climbing. Follow a right angling crack in a right facing corner. Starts predominantly with fingers and then finishes with a burly bulge.


Location 

Look for two corners that form an A frame. Copperhead #5 follows the left corner. Gear anchor at the top. Descend from fixed anchors on Garden Ledge with one rope.


Protection 

Standard trad rack. Also bring a large red Camalot or equivalent.

By red camalot, do you mean the older-style #4.5?

It's a wide burly finish. I think you will appreciate having an "old style #4.5"

If I remember correctly it was a tree belay at the top, then walk over to the chains on the Garden Ledge.

Also, I don't believe the fixed pin shown in the guidebook is there anymore.
