Description 

Start in the first place that seems reasonable to the right of Flying A, stand on good ledges and soon gain a big flake and traverse right. Above looms a flaring slot- moving through this is the crux- look to place cams at the top of the slot. Follow the thin crack above, with easier climbing with more footholds, but less obvious gear placements for 15' or so. At the top, the crack widens to hand size, and good gear can be placed again.
It's a worthwhile easier climb (for the Playground). Tough for Playground 5.9, but easy for Playground 5.10


Location 

This climb is about 20' to the right of Texas, or about 10' right of Flying A. Identify a flaring slot about 2/3 of the way up.


Protection 

1 set nuts, 1 set cams to 3".
