Description
Climb the dike past some balancy sections to it's end, continue up a section of tricky face (crux) and finish in a 20' handcrack; lower-off from anchors.
Almost a sport route, but you'll most likely want a piece or two for the crack finish.

Location
Located on the left side of the wall just left of Mercury Landing and easily identified as a right-slanting dike system.
I think the 4 stars given in the guide are unwarranted... no question it is really fun but not a 4-star classic. Nov 14, 2015
Otherwise, nice variety with the dike, the face crux, and the hand crack (try protecting with cams 1 - 2.5 inch).
Nice bonus of leading this route is the ability to set Top-Ropes on the interesting and varied route to its left (Fragile Blasphemer), and the thoughtful face-climbing route (Mercury Landing) directly underneath the two-bolts-with-mussy-hooks top anchor. Jul 25, 2017
