Description 

If anyone has seen Seinfeld you will understand the meaning behind the name. The second meaning is the fact that it took me four ttys over three weeks to get on this thing. Well on the forth try it was still wet and I looked at Loran and said F it I’m going for it. Climb up the low angle slab past a bolt to an overlap. Place gear at the overlap (small stuff). Follow the overlap up and right past another bolt. Then step left pas the last bolt to a bulge get up on top of the bulge buy using a one finger pocket high up(crux) then clip the anchors.
