Description

Climbs the vertical crack/seam that's located about 5 feet right of the Gilson Chimney. When the crack peters out, follow about 6 bolts up the face placed just to the right of the arete formed by the chimney. Near the top, the climb angles right to the shared anchors with Little Dripper.

Location

First route to the right of the Gilson Chimney, and left of Little Dripper. Descent: Rappel on one 70M rope -- but probably requires two 60M ropes to reach the ground.
