It is located on the left side of the wall and diangonals right. Start on a platform above the loose wash. Begin with pumpy tight hands switching to something like chimneying up through splitting cracks then swinging out on to the slabby finish. Gears up nicely. Super Fun!

Cams up to 3" with several small pieces, both nuts and tcu's work well.
As someone new to these pages, I was pleasantly surprised to see a route that Lynn Wheeler and I did many years ago has received such high praise.Wheels and I were going thru a "crack" phase back then ,spending many hours roaming up and down the canyon with binoculars,looking for crack climbs.I had spied this one and talked Wheels into going up and looking at what he felt was a scrapheap(and relatively speaking I guess it still is.) We did all the moves except the crux, free.The crux was freed after Hong pulled a pin that Wheels left,then utilized the remaining pocket as a finger hold.No matter.Hong was so strong he probably could have punched a new hole in the rock! We didn't call it Tick Fever by the way. Cheers,Jeff Newsom
