Placing some small cams to get to the first bolt.....
Description
Climb just right of Fat Fingers (aka Shadow of a Hangdog), following the bolt line just left of the dihedral with the large crack. Follow a thin crack up and right to a small roof. Clip, then make a sweet dynamic move to a good hold. It's unclear whether the route uses the opposite face to stem off of; we did.
Protection
3 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Micro cams or small stoppers would be a good idea for the lower half of the route.
This description is a little misleading. The route starts out as a crack climb for the first 25 feet at least. Gear is required! When the climb gets steeper at the top, there are three closely spaced bolts. The bolted line is a bit contrived to me; following the strength of the rock rather than the obvious weakness. It seemed much easier to move right and join "Stony Middleton" rather than climb a few desperate face moves out of character with the rest of the route.
