Description

Despite a softish and dirty start, this is a pretty fun route. For most folks the crux will likely be the six in section before the roof. However, it is not very off width in character and those with a flexibility and stemming skills will shoot right up the stem box at the bottom.

Location

Left of Skin Tight in the Rocky Alcove. Easy to spot as you walk by because of the 6 inch crack below the roof.

Protection

(1) 0.2-0.4, 1, 2 (save tiny pieces for the thin crack left of the six inch section, up high), (2) 0.5, 0.75, 3, 4. Save a #1 and #2 for above the roof. Optional #6.
