Description Suggest change

Right-slanting crack up a shallow dihedral ramp. Might look intimating at first, but mostly hands and surprisingly good feet, where the coarse rock surface is actually welcoming and helpful. Reminiscent of Catch A Falling Star on Cap Rock, but all crack to the top. Not often climbed evidently but thought quite good. Some debris and loose bits here and there but none critical. Mostly clean. Topside gear anchor approx 30 ft back on a mild upslope in a horizontal that takes small-med cams. There's a shallow crack right at the topout too but presently filled with gravel and dirt. Walk off by scrambling to climber's right and initially slightly down, then up and right via easy slab to get into the top of a troughy ledge system that goes down and doubles back to bypass a "cliffed out" spot, then a bit more boulder scrambling to touch down on ground.

Location Suggest change

SW face of the bottom tier of Isles In The Sky, down and left from Solar Oven. Situated across from the N face of Cunning Rock. Best to have packs at edge of the trees. Easier then to duck between them and the stacked boulders to get further inward to the tight starting spot. In sun most of day, then gets into shade by late afternoon.

Protection Suggest change

Double cams to BD Blue #3, gear anchor. Could place a bigger cam near middle but not really needed.
