This is a good warm up route. Thin hands move off the ground to a good jam where you can stop to place gear. Climb up in to the corner and wrestle with the "Railroad Tracks" There are a couple of good stem rests. Once the crack on the right widens you can move in to it and jam to the top.
Location
One of the first routes when you get to the base of the cliff, It is a few lines to the Left of Swedin-Ringle
Protection
Camalots 2 #1s, 2 #2s, 2 #3s Maybe 1 #3.5 A yellow or green alien for the corner if you like
Bear paws beware, first time around I did some 11c face/arete climbing to avoid the thin left crack. For me the the only way to do it straight in is with a footless move from a ringlock and a rattly fingerlock to a thin hand jam. My friend who is tall and have thinner hands than I have found the upper part harder then the start.
