Description

Climb small dihedral through small roof straight up to black corner crack.
Continuous, slick climbing with decent finger locks.

Location

Just right of Age of Darkness (same start).
ST shows bolts for climb to right - these did not exist as of Aug. 2014.
Finish over dirty roof (R) and up to brushy ledge above.

Protection

Standard trad rack.
If the crack is clean, this might be easy to protect, but many slots seem to be plugged with dirt (amazingly, this did not detract from the climbing itself much)
