Description 

This dinky dihedral is harder than it looks. The corner crack starts off fingertips-thin, and there's not much in the way of feet on the faces. In spite of its short length, not a good choice for neophyte trad leaders.

Location 

Starts in an obvious dihedral at the top of the approach trail, just right of three short sport lines. Shares bolted anchors with Low Exposure (use a directional).

Protection 

Light rack. Small cams and nuts, then a #3 Camalot or equivalent to protect the topout moves.
