Description
This climb is as good, but no better than the others at the cliff. Okay moves and okay rock make this not a destination. There are a few good moves on it, but the line felt indirect as it switched features a few times along it's short length. Climb up and right on a virtual staircase of rock to just left of the "cave" at the right edge of the Spider Wall. Rather than enter the cave, bump back out left of it and into a left-facing flake that climbs up to the top of the wall.
