Description
Killer edge climbing with closely spaced bolts above a roof. Turn the corner and pull onto a red, crystalline slab for 3 bolts. Then a little gear in an easy crack and three more bolts up a perfect slab to the anchors of El Guapo.

Starts on the middle tier about 60 feet above the gear belay for Snowflakes/Plasma.
Protection
