2009 Closure Map Submitted By: Amy Ansari on Jun 15, 2009
This route runs up a bolted route just left of the small arete route Hushed Passage (5.10c), bolted until you get up to an awful flared crack about 60 feet off the ground.
Pro isn't so great until your'e about 6 feet into the crack, at which point you're past the hard part. Continue in the crack system up to a bolts, which are shared with Tag Team (5.10a).

Give me a break! The crack takes GREAT pro at the crux, a sinker smaller (#5 or so) stopper. Thought provoking moves, great route.

I agree! The pro was fine. The fall is clean if you dont get gear in there. Awful is not the way i would describe the crack. It may have cleaned up since this was written. May need another vote.
