| This route has brilliant moves and follows an unbelievable line of dikes. Don't let the small crimp crux down low discourage you from doing the deluxe upper half of this route |

| You can easily set a TR by climbing over from the anchors of Surrealistic Pillar Direct. Perhaps 15-20 feet of 5.4 dikes. Great climb! |

| The area's best face climb. I stick clipped the first bolt due to the blank start -- probably hard V4 getting to the mega-knob. |
