Description 

Just to the left of Hot Wee Wee, which is the huge dihedral in the middle of Ophir Wall.

P1: The start is vague, but basically goes up the not-so-well-protected face to the left of Hot Wee Wee. Somewhere you'll find a set of bolts for an anchor.

P2: Head out right past a bolt and up past a bulge and into a shallow dihedral.

P3: Continue up the shallow dihedral until it peters out and you're staring up a blank intimidating face. Head out right and up a little, aiming for a couple shallow slots that take gear. A cool head and nerves of steel will prevail. Eventually you will make to some good holds, where you will find an unnecessary bolt. Continue up to a belay.

Either rap down the face or continue up to the top of Hot Wee Wee.
