Description 

This is an old aid line that starts up the chossy crack left of The Verdict, and then traverses a seam across the overhanging, bolt protected wall in a series of beautiful, strenuous moves on excellent stone.
The hardest move involves reaching a softball-sized hueco midway across the face, though the extremely sustained and technical nature of the bolted sequence is the real crux.


Protection 

Thin-Medium friends for the "approach" crack, then good bolts. Shares an anchor with The Verdict. One antiquated bolt is still left from an early ascent.
