Description 

This route epitomizes Vedauwoo. It is short, stout, diverse, and rewarding. Start on a ramp with no gear to a ledge. Place your first pieces, then stem 25 feet to the next ledge. Get some RPs and work out the thin technical moves (easily 11b) to the roof. Crank through the roof, fists to OW. A nice pitch that does not look so good from the ground.

Location 

This is in between Second Iteration and Flake, and it starts with an obvious ramp.

Protection 

RPs to #4.5 Camalot.
