Description 

Awesome offwidth that turns into a squeeze about half way up.


Location 

Right of Iocane Powder ~20 ft.


Protection 

A BD #5 and a couple #6's will get you half way there. Then big bros or run it out to the chains.

i had a rad time at this wall this spring /summer and put up a number of routes. this was one of the coolest. half way up you can place a finger cam or two and gun it for the top... if you fit.

Good clean fun.

A clarification on gear: About 80% of the way up the climb there is a supplemental crack inside where you can get in gear ranging from #2 to #4 Camalots and maybe down to a #1 Camalot. Note that the upper most part of the crack where it exits onto the main face defines a block that could displace, so lower placements are better. I did not find any spots for finger sized gear.
