Description 

This underated climb is a fine outing that can be done as two pitches or as one long pitch with a 60m rope. The crux comes where you expect on the brilliant 2nd pitch dihedral.

Pitch 1: Begin to the right of Ride the Lightning in a left facing dihedral up to the base of the book.

Pitch 2: Use stemming, palming, fingerstacks to make your way up the perfect corner. You'll be wishing there was more.

Location 

Rap with two ropes.

Protection 

Nuts and cams to one inch. Bolted anchor at top.
