Description 

An excellent thin face climb which climbs the obvious black streak. A few thin moves at 2/3rds height provide the crux.


Location 

Located above a ledge system approximately 30' above the base of the crag--requires a short 4th-class scramble to reach the base.


Protection 

Bolts to a chain anchor.

This is a great route but it might be slightly sandbagged.

A total sandbag IMO.....balancy, sequential crux on tiny feet and direction-dependent hand holds. I could have missed some key beta or just be a wuss, but I'd give 'er a 10d redpoint or 11a onsight.

I'd say 10d/11a is a bit much. I was thinking more along the lines of 10c, but grades are so subjective anyway.
