Description 

Double cracks immediately left of the bolted route (Measure for Measure, 11d) left of Much Ado About Nothing. Climb to a small ledge then jam, stem, and chimney up to a small roof. Turn this, then climb the steep but well protected headwall to a ledge with anchors.

The anchors are shared with Much Ado About Nothing.

The roof and headwall make this one of the best 5.9's at Smith.


Protection 

A few big cams (up to BD #4) could be useful but not necessary.


Location 

Lower Gorge, East Columns, across the river from Cruel Sister.

I love this route and think it is one of the best 5.9 routes I have climbed at Smith.
