Description
This route is true to its title, with finicky gear placements all the way up a trending quartz dike. Start out in the thin seam just right of Colossus. Tip toe up the dike until the roof, where some mighty movements await with fairly marginal gear. The crux entails some gymnastic movement on jugs with wild knee scumming, and a desperate move off a pinch to the god send jug. Pull up onto headwall and tip toe up and right to Tarantulas anchors. Try and safe all your juice for the roof and above. All together, a VERY engaging climb and well worth a go!
