Description

An acute corner decorated with lichen nudges you farther and farther from its seam until you are spread eagle above dead air. A bolted belay leads you into the tight corner housing great options for protection and a promise for sustained stemming.

Location

At the far (climbers) left of the Iron Wall, between Birdsong and Long Iron. Rappel to the top of this route (and Birdsong) via a section of 4th class column tops.
