Description 

Thumb Action is a fun toprope problem up the prow just left of Phone Booth, with a thin face section about 15' or 20' up. This crux is basically unprotected as far as I can tell from toproping- you can get some small gear below the roof to your right but it's going to be far enough below you to get your attention. Tricky smears and sharp sidepulls or two finger crimps to get through the crux. Next, step left to a slick right-facing corner, which is harder than it looks for a few moves, then you're in an easier shallow open dihedral with an obvious stacked block (shared with Phone Booth) to get to the top.


Location 

This is the face climb up a small prow just left of Phone Booth


Protection 

(If I get bold and lead this, I would bring a...) standard rack of 1 set cams 1 set nuts, including micros. Build your own anchor at the top. This climb can be toproped from the 2-bolt anchor for Phone Booth.
