Description 

A climb named for it's sharp teeth... Your feelings about this climb may well be dependent upon if or not you are taped up, or have thick skin. Save for some sharpness, it is a reasonable line. Probably better as a warm up for those with refined and stable technique than as a grade-pusher (butcher) for the slip and slide crowd.

Location 

At the far left end of Jazz Rock, perhaps 60 meters left past the distinct line of Long Live Trad is this line. Climb a crack system to a corner up high, then up and over.

Protection 

A standard rack of stoppers and hexes or cams. Take some webbing or some cheap gear up with you to rig a new rap to get down. The existing one sucked in 1995 (hollow dead tree) or find a way to the top of a different route to bail... I.E. Long Live Trad. There is still "adventure potential" left in the gorge.
