Description 

An exceptional arcing crack climb on beautiful orange rock. Steep and difficult for the grade, it requires endurance. The crux is about 15 feet of thin hands through a couple bulges/roofs.

Location 

The route is not on The Cardinal Pinnacle proper; it is on the small formation to the left. Rap the route or scramble off the backside. Lots of loose rock at the top so be careful while rappelling or belaying your second up.

Protection 

1 to 4" cams, doubles in 2-3" sizes
