Formerly 5.7, but the 5.8 grade seems more appropriate. That slanting crack is a lot harder than it looks from the ground.
This is an excellent alternate P1 for Madame G's if you are up to leading 5.8.
P1 - Climb the obvious curving crack and face past a bulge, then up to a ledge with a tree. Either belay at the tree to TR P1 or continue onto P2 or move right on the ledge to continue up Madame G's.
P2 - Climb straight up the face to a pink and white left-facing corner. Climb the corner past old pins (there as of 2005) to another stance. Work past the bulge (crux), then move left around a corner. Continue up the corner to the GT ledge.
Location
At a curving crack 15 feet right of Southern Pillar and 20 feet left of the blocky start that marks P1 of Madame G's.
