Description 

This route is best done as a TR, if you've done Potholes, and are looking for another line to do in a pinch. Loose, sandy, fragile... For the seekers of the obscure.

Find this line on the Red Spire of the Twin Spires, just about 20-25 feet L of Potholes.

Ascend a R-angling, L-facing shallow dihedral. Find flakes & jams on this dihedral/ramp. Balance your weight so as not to pull off anything important. Supposedly, at the top of the dihedral/ramp, there is a pin. Then, move slightly L to the obvious pin. Pull the bulge slighty L of the pin. Line of least resistance at the top seems to head R to connect with Potholes at the top. Rap 60 ft.


Protection 

Drilled pin (or two?), a few cams, a no-fall attitude or a box.
