Description 

You'll find this short, south-facing hand crack left of Night Trap (5.11c) a bolted arete and around the corner from Wavecrest (5.11c/d) and impressively beautiful dihedral.

A bouldery start (5.9) gives way to moderate (5.7) hand jamming with the occasional wide section. Gear belay and rap off using the anchors atop Night Trap.

Only worth doing as a warm-up for the more difficult lines nearby, as a trip here solely for this route would be somewhat of a disappointment. The climbing is enjoyable but nothing special, which earns it one star out of five.
