Description 

The route is rated 5.6 in Chuck Lohn's Guide book. However, I have never fallen off a 5.6, or anything under 5.9 before attempting this route on TR. If you follow the topo provided, you will find yourself pulling a lip, 17 feet up, on strait vertical rock with thin crimpers. A 5.10d move at least. The rest of the rout is 5.6 though.

Location 

Third water streak from the right.

Protection 

Top Rope from anchors just to the left of the top of the route. The crack near the top of the route will accept 1 to 2 inch pro.
