Description
This is a pretty good climb, stiff for the grade. The harder part is the lower seam of a crack.
If you are not well versed in thin cracks, you may want to TR this, pretty pumpy placing gear near crux start.
Location
Starts just right of Preying Mantel. For both of these climbs it helps to start the belay on the ledges above the trail, but one could lead up from the trail as well.
Protection
Single rack, tips to #4 camalot. Bring a #5 or #6 cam to protect the wide but easier section to anchors. This route ends at an independent chain anchor 10' below and to the right of "Preying Mantel" BEWARE OF LOOSE ROCK
