Description The gear is great on this variation. The crux is pulling around the bulge and onto the face.
Location Instead of going up to the 7+ second pitch A frame, just stick to the obvious hand crack that is toward the top of the dihedral. Pull around right via hand jams, over the bulge on smeared feet and reach out right to a side pull and a crystal finger jug on the face.
Protection Wild Country cams size 1-2. Have 3 of them to protect the hand crack that follows just under the highest part of the Cozyhang/Umph Slot dihedral.

| Isn't this the same route as Cozy Overhang? It seems like a double entry to me...but I could be wrong. |

| No, not a double entry at all. This pitch takes a direct line out the roof above Owl Ledge. |

| Hard for a 10a? maybe? I could not figure it out for the life of me. I guess I just suck at hand jamming. |

| This seemed harder than 10a to me. I'm pretty sure that the new guidebook lists this as 10d, but I might be reading it wrong. I am very short (5'6"), and had to use a combination of hand jamming, dyno, and no feet to make it through the crux (which protects very well). The lack of feet made it feel like 10+ to me. Again, I'm short so this may not be true for everyone. |

| Finally got this today. You definitely need to be able to jam if you want to make it. I can't comment on the grade. |

| I've done this one a couple times...the key is getting your feet in the same diagonal crack you are jamming - I was almost horizontal through the whole crux, but it really didn't seem to difficult, just pumpy. |

| I am 5'3" so the route is not height dependent.... |
