Description

Climb up a nice, right-facing corner on tips and good edges (8 or 9-ish) until beneath a roof feature. The original line, 'Wooly Footed Vixen,' (10-) veers right here. Chicken Wings is actually a variation to this and heads directly over the roof passing one bolt. The headwall above the roof sports the crux on thin, bouldery climbing. A bit of a slap in the face after the lower bit. Fun movement on mostly clean rock.

Location

A few columns right of the thin crack 'Nikita.' Look for a right-facing corner capped by a slanting roof with a lone bolt and chains on top.

Protection

Mostly small cams (#0-2 TCU's). Can get a good finger/ring-sized piece under the roof (use runner).
Save a draw for the bolt.
