Description

From the Thompson book, 2017: "it climbs past the obvious hueco/cave which is often used by nesting owls. Please give the birds a break, and pick another route, unless you are absolutely certain they are not present." The rating in the Thompson book: 2 stars out of 4.

The route sets off on the deteriorating hill, just right of Corner Pockets. A slight cruxy start leads into a right-trending line with a gritty ledge to mantel. The "obvious hueco/cave" that the book mentions may have fallen off, because it's not really a cave but holds a somewhat loose flake that can be avoided.

Location

From the Thompson book, 2017: "this line is located roughly 25 paces to the left of Blank Frank, 10 paces right of the black dihedral on dark stone."

It's the next line right of Corner Pockets and starts on the deteriorating hill.
