This is the shallow, left facing corner about 100 ft. left of Shibumi and 25 ft. right of the edge of the main formation. It can be seen on the topo page 152 of the Eldorado Canyon guidebook, starting at a split block on the ledge system that traverses the formation.
Power up the steep corner via thin face moves and stemming to good holds about 35 ft. up. From here the angle kicks back and it's about .10a strait up and slightly right through a small roof to the obvious ledge sysem. Belay here or continue right and slightly down to the tree on Shibumi.
The topo says 120 ft. to the ground, but one 60m rope will get you down. This route is really fun!

Rack 2 each up to a 2.5 friend. Bring a few micro nuts for the start.
Cameron's Corner is now a three-pitch route. Brad Bond, Pamela Emanoil and Dougald MacDonald added a short direct start and a direct finish to this great route. The first pitch is a shallow left-facing corner in a slab with wires and RP pro, something like 5.8+ and somewhat serious near the top. Brad Bond's 5.11 second pitch is a mega-classic -- as good as anything on Rincon. The third pitch breaks through the roof just left of the belay with unique buckets and strenuous-to-place but good pro. Continue on steep ground to the summit ridge (5.10a).
