Location

about 30' left of Finger Flake crack at the left of Showdown wall. There is a bed size detached flake at the base.

Description

A right-facing flake offering excellent protection. Fun combo of face climbing, pressure moves and a few finger locks. Majority of the climbing is 5.7ish sans the crux which is the last move to the chains.
