Description Suggest change

Amazing slightly overhanging seam that gets thinner toward the top, until opening up for a couple of ballnut/small cam placements. The crack is filled with lichen, but the gear was generally solid. The face is virtually blank, so it's all aider work. If this was a longer climb, it would be amazing. Like Thin Slivers, the climbing ends too soon.

Climb the seam, and mantle on lichen covered holds. Sling a tree to rap down, or walk off to the climber's left.

The hillside is pretty steep, so it might be a good idea to anchor the belayer in with a cam or two, just in case...

Location Suggest change

Obvious short laser-cut seam on the rock face behind the Towers formation.

Protection Suggest change

Tiny cams, ballnuts, micronuts, and an optional hook for the top.
