Description 

A clean cut, blank corner marks the beginning of this climb, false step or slip and kiss your shin good-bye. A hard to start route with OCD tendencies.

Start standing on a small block slighlty right of the broken corner, step off over an abyss and commit to a series of hard and difficult to read moves. (It is not uncommon to find yourself rocking back and fourth repeatedly from block to rock) Once you cast off, hang on tight for some great arete climbing with big throws and long moves. Ride the arete, climbing crisp edges mixed with small crimps. Finish a bit mentally and physically drained at a two-bolt anchor.


Location 

Skin Graft is the line directly on the arete just left of Perky's Playground.


Protection 

Draws for four bolts and an anchor.

Better Purer, and harder start if you start from the ground, rather than the large rock.
