Description 

Good (though short) handcrack that pulls a small buldge/overhang into a dihedral. Start in a shallow chimney, spraddle up with great hands. Try not to go right onto the face and into Gremlins (5.6). Basically, hand jams the whole way with the option to bail right onto Gremlins if cracks aren't your bag.

Location 

Climber's right of sesame street rock about 50ft in the forest. I'm pretty sure its between that and Tower of the God's but I wasn't paying attention. Right facing dihedral above a rock platform that starts w/ a chimney and pulls a buldge via a handcrack

Protection 

(multiple) BD 2 and/or similar hex(s) for leading. There are stopper placements to the right on Gremlins if you only have small stuff
