Description 

This is a short corner climb near White Pillar. The crux is the corner -- it felt pretty stiff for 5.8+. Rap on a single rope or see if you can find your way through the lichen and weeds above the rap anchor.


Location 

Probably the best way to find this route is to go to White Pillar and then backtrack about 100' The route follows a clean and appealing left-facing corner that starts a bit off the ground. It's about 10 - 15 minutes out from the popular part of the cliff.


Protection 

I found the crux hard to protect until I noticed a spot for a ball nut. A passing climber informed me that the only good pro for the crux was that ball nut that I had placed. There's other pro down lower but the ball nut made me way happier.
