Description 

Hard finger crack start to fun thin hands jamming then through a slightly wide roof (long reach to a good handjam). Excellent climbing with good pro, but the first 10 feet are definitely the crux.

Location 

This is 1 route right of Skull.

Protection 

Small stoppers and SCLDs up to hand/fist size at top. Also 2 #4 Friends or equivalent for the anchor. There is a lot of drag on TR, so be careful setting up the anchor.

Per Justin Edl: This route now has an anchor, on top and to the climber's left.
