This beautiful line soaks up the sun in Willow Springs. It features tricky double finger cracks down low and a stellar overhanging, left-slanting hand crack above.
Location
This route is quite far removed from the Willow Springs picnic area. Drive off the asphalt onto the rugged dirt road about a quarter mile until a 2-car pullout appears on the right. Park and hike up the hillside to the base of the route. To descend from the top, hike twenty feet to the climber's left and rap from a tree with one rope.
True, But if you look at it....It sucks....and is very hollow

Brad Stewart & I did the FA on this route on 2-25-86, according to an old topo. Brad got the name from a route at Smith Rocks. Several months earlier Brad Ball and I were hiking north past Kilimanjaro 5.10d, when he spotted the route and said that he was going to do the FA solo. He let it go (too long) and, eventually I told Brad Stewart about it - he drew the short straw and got the lead. He graded it at 5.10b and after looking at the backs of my hands, I couldn't argue. Located about 300 yards north of the Outhouse Wall on the right (east) of the dirt road that leads from Willow Springs to the Red Rock summit. Nick Nordblum subsequently added a second pitch and graded it 5.11b.
