Description
Best route name ever. This is a beautiful piece of stone and one of the coolest routes in North Carolina. This climb requires a nice mix of power, finesse, and a bit of boldness. MUCH harder to lead than toprope, fall at the crux and its pretty much a mandatory 20 footer with slab smacking potential. The top eases off technically but pro is scant and thin.
Location
Located on the Sun Wall, down and right from the Nose area, this climb is the obvious arching right facing corner. NOTE: This is the first pitch of Psychedelic Delusions of the Digital Man done free.
Protection
Lots of RP's, small tcu's up to .75 camalot

I would love to learn more about the history of this climb. I spent ALOT of time working on this thing. I flashed it on toprope first try but it took me another couple of years to finally lead it free and even then with some fixed gear at the crux.
I doubt it has ever been onsighted but who knows. Would love to hear more stories. I used to take 20+ footers on the first bolt that was sticking halfway out of the rock. Yikes! This is one of my favorite climbs ever.
