Description

A fine tips to fingers corner with ample flakes and ledges. It's short and sweet!

Make sure to pull down and not out on those flakes!

I've seen the grade suggested at 5.7 and would say that's funny, but not accurate. Probably 5.9 for most, but let's just say 5.8+

Location

Between Capital Flake and BFF. The right facing-corner that looks like it has baby steps just left of BFF.

Protection

Gradually widens from purple Metolius to #0.5 Camalot

It's just left of BFF, which the climber is on.

The corner on the left is the route.
