Description 

This is route #25 in the LAM on-line guide.

Start in an easy broken crack system that is shared with Grandstanding (a 5.4 that goes to the right). The crux is in the top half, surmounting the fairly thin, bulgy face that forms the right side of a dihedral with a thin, fairly dirty seam in back (too thin for fingers).

Location 

Middle of the south cliff.

Protection 

Small-Medium cams below, but have some small nuts ready for the thin seam at the crux.

This line possesses two camo'd bolts for a top anchor (as of Feb. 2008). One can also use these bolts to TR Belly Flop to the left of Belly Up (acknowledging the slight possible pendulum if you fall off Belly Flop).
