Description 

Begin in a left-trending handcrack around the corner to the left from Maiden. Ascend the crack and traverse left along the shelf to the base of the "shark tooth" flake feature. Climb it to its point, then head up and left along the unprotected 5.9 friction ramp.

One can avoid the first pitch by scrambling in from the left to the base of the shark tooth flake. As of 8/29/11, the top of the flake has been slung with webbing allowing for an easy descent without climbing the 5.9R friction slab.

This is a great little route with some interesting moves.

Protection 

Standard rack.
