Description
Climbs through a series of horizontal cracks on vertical to slabby terrain. Nice balancey climb with a variety of small features: mono, undercling, sloper and crimps. Probably tricky to protect on lead. May be missing fixed pin.
Location
Look for series of horizontal cracks left of the slabby arete on Grandeur buttress across from Toxic Shock. I climbed Corner Flash and set a toprope with gear.
Protection
gear to .5 with microcams/ballnuts?

That said, it did make me feel a bit more comfortable anchoring in the belayer for the first two pieces, just to stop any kind of summersault potential down that hill. Jul 6, 2015

Gear Beta:
Purple Metolius TCU, extended (this piece fit perfectly but you could also use a .1 BD which would be pretty good), Blue totem (the offset ability of totems made this placement much more comfy), .3 BD, .4 BD, .5BD, .5BD, .4BD, Quickdraw, Black Totem.
This rack sewed it up and allowed me to back up one of the blind placements and the old fixed pin. Aug 16, 2021
