Description This is one of the most classic trad lines at Smith. The crux is in the first 20ft but many a climber has been shut down up high going for the chains. It protects well at any point and has classic stemming and finger locks. Climb the corner to anchors on the face.
There is a decent second pitch but most make it a one pitch endeavor.
Protection wires, cams to 3 inches
Stemming on MD

| Fun climbing up to the first anchors. A well protected gear climb for the budding trad climber. The crack takes stoppers really well. |

| Definitely easy to protect, with good stances to place gear. Would be a good beginners Dihedral. |

| The pro was good, but so was the pump up top! It's no gimme. |

| This is probably one of the best 5.9 gear pitches I've ever done - anywhere. A must do. |

| My first 9 trad lead. Business time is definitely right off the ground. Got a nice rest about 30-40 feet up. Option of using left hand crack towards the top helps reduce the pump factor. |
