John Glime wondering if the two pieces he has that...

Description 

Whoever did the first ascent of this climb has a good eye. It’s a compelling line.

Pitch one – Climb up to a bolt and then out a series of small roofs on what turns into a beautiful hand crack. Continue up a right facing dihedral and then climb up and right past a bolt to a belay on a ledge. (5.9, C1)

Pitch two – Step left from the anchor and climb the crack past a fixed pin until you are perched below a 5-6 inch offwidth that diagonals up and right. Climb the wideness to a belay on the shoulder below the summit cone. (C1+)

Pitch three – Climb the bolt ladder to the summit. Bring a long cord to sling the summit. (C1)

Rap the route.

Protection 

Two sets of cams to #6 Camalot.
(or be prepared to run it out on the second pitch)
