Description This is the obvious left arching flake just to the left of standard route on the Thin Air Face. Start on a ramp that leads right until it meets the flake. continue up the flake to a two bolt belay at a ledge, just below the belay for the traverse pitch on Thin Air. Either top out via Thin Air, or rappel with double ropes or a 70 meter.
Protection Standard rack of cams and nuts, #4 Camalot is very helpful.

| TCUs or small wires useful for final thin corner, which is excellent climbing. |

| If you place your gear deep behind the flake, no big cams are needed... .
The crux comes when you exit the flake to the right and do a little face climbing before heading back left to finish the route.... |

| Did this route again today... Man i forgot how fun it was!!! so cool... i did get a little rope drag on it so i was thinking that next time i might climb the first 2 bolts on Freedom then link in to Turners for a "no rope drag" variation... |
