Description 

Four star climbing, but the pitch is docked a star for bolts next to reasonable gear placements.

A steep unnecessarily bolted corner with interesting technical moves to a vertical or steeper hand and finger crack. There is a crux at the end of the corner and another one midway up the crack where it thins to .5 Camalots for a move or two.


Location 

On the left side of the crag with some scrambling required to reach the base. (See Lewis' guide for better approach beta.) There is a belay bolt, but we found it worked better to belay a few feet above this.


Protection 

Five (!) bolts, gear to gold or blue Camalots w/ doubles in fingers and hands.

I think the three upper bolts are warranted, but I placed gear instead of using the first two.

No stars deducted here, that is one sweet pitch and the bolts don't take away from it IMO.
