Description 

On the north end of the east face, scramble up a gully to a short overhaning arete. Climb this technical and pumpy climb bouncing to the left side and back to the right near the top. If you stay right, it requires tough moves, calves of steel, and a right hand that has had the sweat glands removed. It also has less exposure.


Protection 

4 draws, maybe 5. Oh and 2 for the chains.

It's a bit on the short side, but still very fun.

Phenomenal sport route that lends itself to a bold approach leaving the 3rd bolt. Short but sweet, and very photogenic. It looks awesome from Redtail.

No doubt that the crux is between the 3rd and 4th bolt. If you're up on the NE buttress doing "Thin Slice" try Cairo. Clean falls.

I found the crux to be after the 4th bolt, am I missing something up there? Very interesting climbing.
