Located in the center of the southwest face with Squash Pockets (5.11a) on the left and Galactic Interlude (5.10d) on the right.

Scramble to the top of a small block at the base, preclip the 1st bolt and start climbing up (5.10+) or climb back down and do the "direct start" which begins from ground level just to the left (5.11a). Continue up the face above passing several small roofs/overlaps to gain a stance below the tightly bolted crux section at the top.

Although somewhat continuous in nature the climbing is never strenous and affords numerous rest with the actual crux being a single, well-protected slab move requiring good balance and precise footwork. Perhaps the best route at the crag (with a long name).

Start up a thin crack (the crux) surmount a roof, then climb a hand and finger crack to a flake to the anchors.

Tricky opening moves lead to a tough first bolt where the climbing eases up past a couple more bolts. A medium sized piece protects a mantle to a slab to the anchors.

This is a fantastic hand/finger crack on the right side of the Southwest face.  Pro is good throughout the climb and the jams are great.  The crux is pulling the small roof above the horizontal and feels more like .10a, rather than the .10b given in the guide book.  All in all a very fun crack but be sure to tape up for this one  the crystals are brutal!
