Description This route is just right of Chocolate Corner. Go up a widening and sometimes awkward crack to ledge with anchors, about 70 feet. Save a few small cams for the end. I think there are upper pitches too, but I didn't do them.
Protection Doubles of cams from green alien to #2 camalot, with maybe triples of #1 and #2 camalots

| Please don't be a lazy bumbly and set this climb as a top rope. You will only add to the gouges over the shoulder of the ledge. Belay your second from the anchors, where you will be standing on a ledge. |

| This climb is not sustained like other 5.10- climbs in this area. This route, plus Keyhole Flake, were the only 5.10's I was able to lead on a past trip to Indian Creek. I found this climb easier than Generic Crack, even. Good climb, though! |

| i found the first pitch of this route a bit awkward and a grainier sandstone then its neighbors. this could be because of the amount of traffic it sees. still a nice pitch with some variety. |

| I also found this climb to be one of the easiest on this side of the canyon, or maybe both sides. |

| Definitely worth doing, with good jams all the way. The rock quality (lighter-color sandstone) isn't as good as neighboring routes (as evidenced by the grooves below the anchor). |

| I thought this was a great route -- just far more varied and "weird" like a granite crack. |

| Climb definitely feels like a granite crack. Gritty, awkard, but a great climb to lead with a nice bouldery finish. |

| 3-4 star route anywhere else, but in the Creek, only 2 stars for me. Very well worth doing if you're in the area though! |
