Description
Up a seam that disappears to a ledge then delicate face climb up a less than vertical face. Difficult section does not last too long but does take a little work. Well, it did for me at least.
Location
Find the seam a few feet right of NCCC (big right trending crack) right in front of the trail leading from the road.
Protection
You can set up a TR by leading NCCC or Diamond and Coal, as this route is directly between the two and will finish at the anchor.
