Description

Fun, balancy climbing on glacially-deposited Mineral Fork Tillite. Start just to the left of a left-facing corner and head up and slightly left. Use a couple of pockets and good edges, along with an undercling or two.

Some fun movement getting past the second and third bolts that requires committing yourself a bit farther left and away from some comforting holds than your mind would like.

Location

The right-most climb in the dark brownish-green tillite on the lower, southeast-facing part of The Wasp. Shares the top two bolts and anchor with Glacial Recession to the left.
