Tom pulling through the first bulge.


Description 

Way down towards the right end of the Scarface wall (but not quite as far as 'Twitch') lies a sinuous left-facing corner formed by a precarious-looking pedestal with an hourglass shape at the base. It's mostly hands, in some form or other, the whole way, and not very long- maybe 70 feet. Gets great morning sun, a good warm-up.


Protection 

1 #2, 1 #2.5, several #3, 1 #3.5 friends; a couple runners to minimize drag on the waves

Fun route, just be careful of the HUGE hollow flake on your left and some loose stuff on top.

if you hit the massive flake to the left of the route while you are on the ground, you can make the entire wall sound like a bongo drum!

I think this climb is harder than most people say it is. Maybe it's just my perception but... Imagine doing the roof on Incredible Hand Crack with blue Camalots ...

This route is much easier if you stem to the crack out left while climbing the steep sections.

Excellent hands. Led it but it was hard for me through the 2nd roof. Cool climb tho.
