Description 

This was the first route done up the main west side of Lone Peak.

-P1 Climb blocky steps for 150' to a to a belay below a steep section of the corner.
-P2 A clean hidden hand crack on the right wall provides passage here (5.9-).
-P3 & 4 Climb the corner using lots of stemming moves. We encountered some old pins here on our ascent(1983). The last pitch joins The Great Escape.

If you compare all of the routes on the south side of the summit wall, this climb is one of better lines to do...fun climbing.

Location 

Ascends the prominent corner about 75' left of The Great Escape.
