Description
Face climbing and shallow corners (10c) lead to a particularly blank section of steep face between the 3rd and 4th bolts (12a/b). Height may be a factor in pulling the crux moves. Above, a shallow crack in a corner leads to easier moves to the top.
After the first (top rope ascent) a key knob broke off, rendering the crux moves significantly harder.

Location
This fun (but tricky) route lies about 50 feet right of Coarse and Buggy on the rounded northeast corner of Dihedral Rock. Often overlooked, this route is well worth doing if you are in the area.
