Description

This somewhat contrived variation on Eagle’s Nest stays entirely on the left wall of the Eagle’s Nest dihedral, avoiding the arete to the left (which is Fair Square) and the dihedral crack, right face, and Eagle's Nest roof. The finishing hold (same as for Fair Square and Eagle’s Nest) is the horizontal extending left from the arete and is the only hold off the face. Thin and balancey in places, especially where the face narrows to a few inches at the Eagle’s Nest roof.

Location

Between Fair Square and Eagles Nest
