Description 

This route is in the clean left facing book corner to the west of the Rat cracks. The climb is partially hidden from below by some boulders below it. It is a clean corner with good pro, providing a great moderate lead especially for Castlewood.

Agreed on shortness. However, it is a good warm up for folks practicing pro. That crack gobbles up small cams. I placed pro every three feet just for practice.

I thought the climb could be made a tad harder if one forced themselves to not use the nice bucket footholds on the face and dihedral and instead sent it with feet in the crack only.
