Description 

Start in a thin crack then pull up and right onto the face to more difficult and tenuous face climbing on thin holds and shallow seams. Work up to a good rest, then stem and crimp to the finish. The climbing is insecure and protection is next to nothing. Leading this would be a bold headpoint.


Location 

The route is in the center of the west side of Little Crag and starts in a thin crack on the right side of a rib. Descend by rapping from the bolts or walking off to the south.


Protection 

There is very little protection on this route. It may be possible to wiggle in some RPs or small cams in places, but falling would be a bad idea. There are two bolts with homemade hangers at the top. Some long slings or static rope would be handy to back these up for a toprope anchor.
