Description 

Another line where pulling down will only get you so far (like Tutu Man). Although the back of the crack has some poopy in it, most folks don't grab it as they chimney, stem and otherwise ascend the pod. After you Escape (crux) great climbing up the crack will leave a smile on your face.

Location 

On the center of the Orange and Blue sector, the obvious pod to crack above. Three lines to the right of Pussytoes and just left of the arching layback crack that starts both Sugar and Super Mamma.

Protection 

Well protected with 12 bolts to 1st anchor. I understand that a harder (10d?) long continuation leads to the anchors of the 12a to the left.
