Description Suggest change

A beautiful route on great rock with a well-protected face crux followed by a perfect splitter 10+ finger lieback to thin hands crack. Not to be missed, especially because the scary old 1/4" bolt protecting the face crux was recently replaced with a bomber Petzl bolt courtesy of the Washington Climbers Coalition during the annual Index cleanup they sponsor.

Now that the entrance to this route is protected by a good bolt, this thing should become a popular alternative to Thin Fingers and other similar routes in the area.

Location Suggest change

Uphill to the right from Thin Fingers about 40 feet. Follow the nicely maintained trail (again, thanks WCC volunteers) to a ledge below a blocky chimney (DO NOT CLIMB THIS CHIMNEY!). Traverse left from the ledge, reach out and clip the bolt, and it's on.

Protection Suggest change

Gear to #2 Camalot and a handful of draws
