Description Tricky start with a thin crux and an honest-to-goodness "naughty finger-pocket", this route is the best on the wall. If you avoid the crux by moving left or right, it's not nearly as interesting.
Location Climb the obvious dihedral to right of Captain's Log. Easy walk-off.
Protection Never led it; the pro looks acceptable. All gear anchor or double-bolted anchor; the DBA is better-used on the routes to the right, so build your own.

| The tree shown in the photo at the base of the route is no longer there, a victim of climbers' feet no doubt. |

| Variety of face moves and stemming techniques used to get to the ceiling/bulge (crux), then a couple exposed moves and slopey feet to get over. Very exhilerating. One of the better climbs I've done at Peter's Kill. |
