Description 

The crux is in the mid-section which thins out quite a bit. The most difficult of the 5.8's at French's. Seems to be the least popular 5.8 as well. May be a bit dirty at the bottom (dirt, moss, pine needles). Eases up quite a bit at the top with some big blocky holds.

Location 

Just downhill/to the left of Alpha Centuri and uphill/right/around the corner from Tin Tangle/Do it Again. See Ron Horton's "Weekend Rock Oregon" for a topo.

Protection 

9 bolts; chain anchors at top.
