Description 

This route is right of Parade Rest. Gently overhanging tight hands and rattly fingers crux at the beginning. Eases up to some 5.9 near the top. Metolius rap bolts located to the right of the crack at the top. This is a classic that doesn't see the crowds. Worth the hike since you can combine this, Old Dog's New Trick and Women's Work for a killer Vedauwoo fingers shredding.


Protection 

(1).5, (3).75, (1)#1 Camalot sizes.

This thing is short (not 50 feet, more like 35), but it is one of the best cracks at Vedauwoo. It's a perfect flared splitter, and a great one for learning how to jam thin flared overhanging cracks. This is a must do on the hard crack tour of Vedauwoo.

Personally I would drop the #1 Camalots, I'm not so sure they will fit. A yellow Alien can be useful at the very bottom, then doubles of .5 and .75 Camalots will sew it up.

Truly a Vedauwoo classic. Very pumpy for 40 feet, and a stellar line. I would take (1) yellow Alien/ 0.4 Camalot, (1) 0.5 Camalot, and (3) 0.75 Camalots. Other than at the start, you can get green Camalots in almost the whole way.

This is probably one of the 3 best 11s at Vedauwoo.
