Description 

This route is on the east side of the south face of Flathead Dome. There are two parallel running cracks on the east end of the south face. They are both slightly right leaning. This is the left hand of the two.

This route is in your face right off the deck. The wall undercuts at your chest and getting your legs in on the action is very difficult. Crank long and strenuously off a good hand jam to a good finger lock. Grind your way upwards through sustained, flaring, bottoming, leaning crack. Felt pretty brutal for the grade.

Rap from bolts, or walk left on a ledge to a 5.9 chimney, to out and walk off to the west.

Protection 

RPs and a set of cams from micro to fist.
