Description
Start on the first half of "Wisdom." Climb until you get to the crystal that you use to toss out right to the flakes on Wisdom." Look left, and you will see a nice, horizontal crack/seam. Crimp like mad as you traverse left into the middle of the project left of "Wisdom." Finish the middle and upper section of this project.
This is not as hard as the direct version, but it's still going to be a classic when it goes... and it won't be long!!!

Location
From the 1st parking lot, take the Sisters trail until it meets up with the Ponderosa. Take a left (west) for about 50 yards, look up to your right, and you will see this tall, steep wall called the "Wisdom Wall" about 100 or so yards uphill. Once you have got it spotted, just keep your eye on it as you continue to bushwhack your way up to the steep tall madness of the "Wisdom Wall."
