Description 

Awesome jams and locks make this route a classic at the grade.
Better learn how to hand jam before attemping a lead on this climb, because if you don't you'll make the beginning into a 5.12 sufferfest.
Ignore the jug out right and take the crack head on, pull the mini-roof and gain a ledge, protect well and continue up and then left following obvious crack system to the anchors.

Location 

Route far left of Reachers of Habit and New River Gunks

Protection 

Stnd. rack, #2 camalot for the bottom crux, mixed gear the rest of the way. Lots of good gear.
