Description 

This routes looks intimating compared to Gemini Right, but excellent protection and fun moves makes this a must-do. In my mind, there are two distinct cruxes, one down low, about 15 feet off the deck, and the second at the main bulge about 2/3 of the way up. The first crux is a delicate, balancy move, and the second is more mental as you surmount the bugle.


Location 

Just left of Gemini Right. Obvious thin finger-crack.


Protection 

Excellent protection. Mostly small-mid size cams/nuts, but you may want a 2 or 3 up top, as I recall. Shuts at top, shared with Gemini Right.

The Cater guide may have Gemini Right and Left ratings switched. I found that the left route was much easier than right.
