Description
Intersesting stemming between the shallow corners to the right of Rock Hudson. For a safe lead, this one requires a fixed pin or two. As it is (without the pins) it's definately an R rated lead, but is a fun toprope.
Protection
Single rack to 3 inches.

I accidentally got turned around on this and found myself halfway up, facing my partner belaying me. Which is a view that you don’t usually get as you’re climbing. Haha! I held a stem for what felt like an eternity trying to figure out how to “right” myself. After hollering at my partner “Oh no!! I’m in a bit of a pickle, what do I do?!”, I somehow was able to flip myself around to face the climb and finish it clean!
I got a really grainy photo, but am sharing so that others can see what a cool climb this is. Oct 16, 2022
