Description
A nice thin seam that's more about crimping than jamming. Crux is off the sit and it is often a little wet so hard to say this is a classic but it gets full stars in the guidebook, so opinions may differ.
Location
Out of the way! It's only a 7 to 10 minute hike from the Mr. Big alcove, but it can be a little tricky to find. Continue on the main ridge trail past the Mr. Big alcove and past where you'd turn off for the Bardo Wall and you'll shortly start down a steep hill in a somewhat open valley. At the bottom the trail flattens out and passes along a pond down and left. Towards the end of the pond the trail goes past a shallow drainage coming down from the right. Look for a cairn here. Follow the drainage up for a few minutes to a 5 foot egg boulder in the middle - this wall is about 50 yards up and right past the small boulder through some thick small trees.
There is a v3 on the left of the wall and a v5 traverse into the finish of this problem plus a project on the right, so there's a decent bit of climbing to do after the walk.
