Description
Beautiful rock, great pro and challenging moves make this one of the best for the grade at T-Wall. Move up a short corner to a nice ledge, then follow a long left-facing corner with the occasional overhang up to ring anchors at the top.
Location
Starts about 10' right of Multiple Use Area, not far down the trail from the Plastic Toys arete.
Protection
Small to medium gear (cams, tricams, hexes, maybe some nuts). Bolted anchors.

This is a great line and is one of the easier 5.8s on the cliff. After cruising this one, go try 'Dirt Bag' which is one of the harder 5.8s on the cliff.

Ah, Dirt Bag it is. I've got that one in my sights. And you're right about Prerequisite, it's one of my favorite 5.8 leads at T-Wall.
Bottom part (above the first mini-dihedral) is a bit loose; some larger cams (3-4) can be nice for the middle section.

I somehow managed to get a yellow TCU stuck near the roof traverse on this climb about a week ago. Apparently it walked itself behind a large crystal. Good luck--the cam's yours if you can get it out.
