Description 

A perfect straightforward finger crack...The crux is dealing with the pain of the sharp fingerlocks....
A great example of 5.11a fingers....
Footwork is key as there are many small feet on the face....
Start on a tree-covered ledge just left of the original finish for Thin Air (5.6), which is a leaf filled gully (be careful stepping over the gap to the base of the climb...If you slip it's a looooong way down...).

Pitch 1: 5.11a follow the picture-perfect, finger crack to a tree with a fixed sling and rings....Most people only do the first pitch....

Pitch 2: Follow the lower angled rock to the top....

Location 

Start on a tree-covered ledge just left of the original finish for Thin Air (5.6), which is a leaf filled gully.... From the ledge, find the nicest finger crack...have fun....

Protection 

Cams from thin fingers to wide fingers and some nuts....
