Description 

Climb a height-dependent reachy start in a seam with large-RP for pro to prevent groundfall to a rest (5.9). Move left below a small triangular roof.
Turn this with tiny cams or small nuts in a seam (5.11- crux), painful fingers in the portions of the crack that are wide enough for fingers, and nubs for feet.
Steep featured climbing in the shallow open book lies above and is generally 5.9 or 10-.

Location 

This climb is route 16 in the ONP topo/photo

It starts about 15' right of Rattlesnake Crack in a seam shared with Route 17 then busts left of that route.

Protection 

Cams from micro to handsize, especially #00 TCU or equivalent tiny cam. 1 set nuts, including RPs.

No fixed anchor at the top, as with all climbs at the ONP. Build your own anchor using gear (recommended), or tie a static rope off dying trees (bad ecological karma).
