Description 

A super fun moderate that starts with some face climbing to a high bolt leading to a steep hand/fist crack. Follow the crack to its end at a ledge, step onto the face following a flake to a second bolt. Crystal pinch your way past more bolts to an exciting arete finish. You may want to sling the top horn for the follower to protect the final moves before the traverse to the anchors. Numerous cruxes and amazing exposure at the end.

Location 

Opposite side of the formation from Thrain and Thor. Next to an unfinished Shaffer project with two bolts.

Protection 

single rack from a red c3 to a #3, 6 bolts, bolted rappel anchors, optional double length, single 70m.
