Description
This route is located on a small formation slightly to the north of Mounds. The route ascends a prominent left-leaning crack that splits a rounded west-facing rock. The cliff and crack are clearly visible from the main trail as you pass the bottom of Swept Away and TS Special.
The bottom section goes easily with a nice juggy crack to pull up on. The top flares out and becomes difficult to protect, going from loose to cupped hand jams.
The route is in the sun most of the day and a good route to do on cold days (consider combining this climb with doing Pope's Crack).
