Description 

Start of the thin, overhanging, black corner.

Getting past the third bolt is the crux. Sequential climbing at the start (V6 move) leads to a ledge and nice 5.10 climbing in the upper corner.

At the crux, strike hard and fast.

Location 

The very obvious, black corner 20 feet left of Modest Mouse.

Protection 

Six clips lead to a two-bolt anchor.
To Toprope: You can access chain anchor from top of spilloff for the arroyo.
