Description 

From AFALCON GUIDE by Eric J. Horst:
"Climb along the hairline crack located just right of Easy Layback and finish up the corner above to the top."

The first handful of moves are thin and very crimpy. The crux is a single move about 12 feet up and is what gives this route a 5.10b rating. After reaching the corner, holds are good and it's smooth sailing to the top.

Location 

Hades Heights
