Description 

Prominent thin crack ascending the dark face around the arete to the left from Perfect Crimb. Harder than it looks. Sustained 5.10 climbing with pumpy and difficult gear placements on insecure footholds. Respectable climb.

I know of at least one long fall on this route where all pieces except one ripped and the leader ended a foot above the ground. Small gear is rarely bomber at Red Wing so zip it up to limit chances of decking.

Protection 

Complete set of nuts, small TCU's or Aliens. Ball nut placements for added comfort, although I wouldn't try to whip on them at Red Wing.
