Description 

If you are looking for hard trad in the Prescott area you have plenty of options, but don't miss out on this J-Treesque finger system. Start out on good holds/jams and climb up to a small left facing dihedral. Move up over a small bulge and you are staring down the crux. There are a handful of different ways to do this section, though it doesn't seem all that much harder than anything else on the route. After the crux, Fred keeps his eye on you and delivers more physical climbing with narry a rest to the top.

Location 

North side of main wall.

Protection 

Wires (small to large), TCUs (single set, double up on yellow and oranges). The anchors at the top got pulled a long time ago, though behind the tower is a new set of hardware variety glue ins. Though they are new, they are by far not the best.
