Description 

A prominent crack in the large face to the right of Tales of Flails, Scarlet Begonias, and Fails of Power. It begins at a tree and climbs the left-leaning crack to a vertical crack.

Many simply climb the first pitch (5.9).


Protection 

A selection of TCUs for the start (#2 - #4), a few #2 cams and a couple #.75 cams. This will get you to the first set of anchors. Following beyond this requires larger pro (#3 & #4 cams) to get up the large crack and offwidth pod (a #6 could be handy as well).

If anyone has a better description of the second pitch, please let me know. Looking at it, I just don't have the gear to protect it.

This is a wonderful climb!! The Crux is the traverse below the perfect hands section. Definately a single pitch must do in Zion! Very similar to Indian Creek splitters. You will love it!
