Description 

This corner left of Epiphany is nicer and cleaner than it looks. Start just left of Arms Bazaar at the shared start for Epiphany. Work through the steep moves down low, clip the bolt, and head up into a groove. Easy climbing past a two bolt anchor (not sure why its there?) takes you to the base of the flake and dihedral system. Climb the crack with good jams and lieback moves, past the upper crux near the top. The hardest climbing is near the ground by the first bolt, but a section of 10+ or 11- exists near the top of the crack system. The protection is solid throughout.

Protection 

A bolt protects the initial (crux) section, a 2 bolt anchor can be clipped above that, then all natural gear to the 2 bolt anchor on top. Medium and large nuts, camming devices (1 each) from 1/2-inch to a #3 Camalot.
