Description 

This is a really interesting and fun climb around the left corner of the Darth Vader Crag.... The protection can be a bit spicy at times, so I'm not surprised it sees little traffic...But if you are up to it, bring a small rack and have some fun....

I start by slinging a birch tree as high as I can to keep me from falling down the hill...Move right (toward the route Darth Vader (5.9) to gain a layback flake...use this to head back left and in to a balancy section through this you can protect with TCUs and finally a few hand crack moves....
The upper moves are very well protected its the lower stuff that's a bit dicey....


Location 

Starts at a birch tree just up and around the corner on the left end of the crag....


Protection 

Slings, nuts, TCUs and a gold Camalot should do it.... Oh, and as always, a cool head....
