Description Start on the south (rear; canyon) side of the Sherlock Spire formation. Climb an obvious, steep, flake/crack (a bit loose) up to a horizontal. Traverse left along the horizontal and then step up to a stance. Climb a thin, varnished crack (harder than it first appears) to the top.
Location Start on the south (rear) face of the free-standing pillar (Sherlock Spire) that is about 100 feet right of R Baskerville Crack.
Protection Anchor rope around horns on the summit to rappel from. Medium cams and anchor rope needed to rig a TR.

| GW - For some reason I find the question marks are kinda annoying. May I suggest "Unknown"? I do have to wonder how you know the FA but not the name. Those two bits of info usually go hand in hand.
Since all the routes are Swain routes, maybe you are Todd and are playing a trick on the poor users of MP. If so, the pressure is too much, I need to know the names of these obscurities! |

| Todd if that's the name, that's cool. I also love repeats, especially if they are unintentional...
Somehow I never figured Todd S. would name two climbs ? or ??, but I guess stranger things have happened (those link to other climbs with the question mark moniker). |

| Gordo - Even at that pace you shouldn't run out of puns! |
