Description 

Excellent, trad, sport route. You place some gear and clip some bolts, there is an early crux where you leave the crack/groove and grab some great incut edges, then return to the crack, dribble in some gear step up and clip another bolt, then an unter-grabben to some crimps (late crux), stand up and try to get a piece in the flare or with only another body length to go...maybe just punch it.

Location 

Head a good ways up the canyon, it's on the left hand side. The beautiful crack/groove face just to the right of Blood on the Cracks, beware of the Stinging Nettles at the base.

Protection 

A small rack with some small/med stoppers, finger sized cams to #0.75 Camalot. A new #5 Camalot is nice to have too. 3 bolts. Chain anchor.
