Description One of the best in the desert. Start with powerful moves around a roof to a pumpy overhanging lieback. Cop a nice rest and charge up the gorgeous off-finger spliter, with pods. Finish in a flare with fingers in the back.
Location Starts just to the left of a large pillar, which keeps the bottom of the route in the shade until the afternoon. Scramble 30 or so feet up to a nice shelf to start the climb.
Protection 3 orange metolious, 3 .5 camalots, 6 1.5 friends, 4 green camalots, 2 1 camalots.

| FA Steve Hong, plaque and book have grade discrepancies but no matter. Great route, thanks for adding it! |

| Thanks Timmy...I added the FA. Yeah, the plaque says 11+. I could see if you're a really strong laybacker, like Hong was, that it would feel about that grade. For my pussy laybacking skills, it felt like 5.12 to me. |

| The best route at a mediocre crag- the layback sprint at the beginning gives it some punch |
