Description 

This route on the right side of Illusion Crag is about 150 feet to the right of Spell Me. It climbs the right leaning finger crack ten feet to the left of the bolted line False Perception. About half way up, the crack jogs left and widens up. Classic route.

Rappel from the bolted station atop False Perception with two ropes.


Protection 

Full rack to 4"

After getting past the finger crack, the remainder of the route is 5.7+ with a few moves of 5.8. Beware of a basketball size rock sitting loose on a shelf in the wide crack about 3/4 of the way up. It looks attached so you might be inclined to pull on it. It will move if you do.
