Description

Climb a flake-like feature. It seems solid. It is 5.5/6, BUT, I would not like to test it. If the gear will hold a good fall, it is only 6 to 7 inches thick. Follow a short crack to the slab to the upper wall. There are two ways to go. Follow the crack left of Medusa Cascade, 5.7R. It is unprotected to the crack. There is a gear placement in the questionable flake, before the crack, after crack joins Medusa Cascade or climb the upper part of Medusa Cascade. This is 5.8 and bolted.

Location

To be edited in.

Protection

Bring a light rack to #2 Camalot, or TR from Medusa Cascade's anchors.
