Description

Noted as "Barry's Aid Corner A2" in Dwight's Courtright guide. This thing goes free with some tricky gear placements and trust in your feet. A short bit of face climbing leads to an easy crack and foot ledge to rest on before the business begins. A couple of small cams fit at the start of the seam but turns quickly to thin lie backing protected by micro to small wires. Awesome feature with some very fun moves requiring a good head space to pull off on the lead.

Location

Generally, locate the large arching feature on Penstemon Dome and find your way to base routes below this. The seam splitting the corner is obvious and visible from a decent distance away.
