Located directly under Dummy's Delight, Ladyfingers climbs patina flakes left to right to a shared finish with it. Begin by bouldering up the left side of Lucky Lady. From the base of the buttress the route looks quite easy, and almost unappealing, as it never seems to get that high off the gully.
It is not as easy as it looks, however, and for all its positive edges, manages to require technical footwork. As expected from Gaines, a quality route plucked from plain sight.

Good climbing and better than appearances suggest as Murf points out - another worthy tick for the area. Easy descent by walking right and rapping off Lucky Lady.
I love this route. something really appealing about traversing over the deep cravass on small edges. the moves are gymnastic and fun. backstepping and mantels on patina plates. dig it!
