Description 

The "project" in the Ruckman guide above All Chalk, No Action. Good finger edges lead diagonally from the Touch Up dihedral heading toward the arete. Climb the arete (crux) to a good rest. The final feldspar-coated headwall should keep your attention. The route joins Touch Up at its final belay. Steep, exposed, challenging. Note: height-related crux.

Location 

Climb Touch Up, All Chalk or Revenge of the Nerds to gain the large belay ledge. From here the route heads up the overhanging orange wall/arete above. 60m rope is enough to lead and lower back to the belay.

Protection 

All bolts
