Description 

Don't let the rating or the short nature of this climb fool you. This is a stout thin fingers crack that is plain and simply absent of feet. It is located on the right side of the road just past Rock The Boat.


Protection 

Small cams/nuts sets this up as a TR, and once in a while as a boulder problem.

I finally got this one... Much harder than Hear my Train and Aids Victim in my opinion. There are actually good locks above the lip! But they're hard to find...

I don't think that it is necessarily "absent of feet" as the description says. There is one good nob for the first few jams, ad you can also scum in the offset as well. However, this is still one of the most sandbagged climbs I've done. Very hard moves at the lip that I could not put together.
