Description 

Great nailing up a small diagonalling crack! This route is a must for the aid climber trying to break into the nailing game. I only climbed the first pitch, and neglected the nice looking 5.8 crack above. Originally rated A4, but has been done enough to enable it to be done safely. If you have done the whole route, please edit this with better information.


Location 

Up the Fin Gulley.


Protection 

A free rack with pitons.

This is a great route to learn some pin craft.

I suspect with the scars, though, it is also presently an excellent candidate for the hard boys and girls to get after. 5.13?, ya, probably. I bet this one is going down soon.

I think the original aid rating should have been more like A3, given the comparison to Tin Man. Aid ratings were also different then. Although I haven't been on this route since '82 the A1+ rating seems a bit stout.
