This climb should probably be done in 2 pitches unless you do a direct start. P1: Climb the corner passing 1 bolt to reach the large ledge. Traverse right about 10-15 ft to reach the finger crack. This part of the climb is clean, but nothing to write home about, the second pitch is the business. P2: Climb the finger crack to a set of shuts. About 1/2 way up this crack, it gets harder, but only for about 10 ft. The majority of the climb is 5.10. The route climbs in a similar fashion to many of the NRG 11's, as there are bomber finger locks between reachy thin sections. This is a route you should not pass up if you are in the area and this is your grade. There are direct starts to reach the ledge: Nazz, Nazz (5.12c sport) or Gone With the Wind (5.12a trad).
Location
Locate a large ledge about 20 ft off the ground, just before a large overhang if you are heading upstream.
Protection
The main crack protects primarily with small nuts. A few of the larger sized BD micronuts are helpful. Some small cams (aliens) are also helpful.
