Description 

Even though the crux is short-lived on this climb, it passes througt very aesthetic red rock and offers lots of cool dihedral/corner climbing along its length.

Start left of Promise and climb the surpisingly thin face past red hangers to the ledge. Move into the layback corners and power up to a devious crux at mid-height. Further adventure leads to the anchors, high on the wall. You might want to stretch a bit before this one, as it requires a fair bit of technical stemming.

Protection 

14 draws and a 60 meter rope.
