Description
A difficult start leads to pumpy climbing, culminating in delicate face moves. Steep, leaning, flaring crack to face.
Location
On the opposite side of the rock from Thuvia. This climb is on East side of Thuvia Rock. The crack splitting the wall diagonally forms a giant platypus above it.
