Description 

The beginning has a bit of a sustained hand crack for the grade and the finish traverse is a little sinister. A good warm up with some loose rock up higher. Traverse right to the anchor atop Nurse Shark 20 feet right of Play With Your Balls. This was the first route attempted here and had evidence of prior attempts. I found an old fixed hex on my first rope solo lead attempt, but I backed down and down climbed because of some severely dangerous loose blocks.


Location 

The route is about ten feet to the right of Play With Your Balls. It climbs a short hand crack on the left side of a detached pillar, hits a ledge and continues to traverse over to the near rightward anchor. Rap off.

Bomber gear; standard rack up to #2 Camalot.
