Description 

Varied climbing on holds which get progressively smaller as you go. Start in the open book and climb to a thin crack which forms as the corner disappears. Layback the crack until it seams out and forces you to crimp on small painful edges. Crank some thin moves (ie don't break a nail) up and right to good holds. Up some easier climbing clipping a widely spaced bolt. Head left to the anchor atop the Howling. The first 5.13 in the park!

Location 

35'right of Pillar in the right leaning open book.
