Description Suggest change

An interesting line with some 'interesting' rock, but pretty good overall. The climb has a little of everything and is enjoyable if you don't let a few loose sections bother you. It is safe overall.
Down and right about 5 meters from Treiber's Deception, the trade route of this rock, there are a pair of left-leaning cracks that merge 8 meters up the rock. The thinner one of the two on the left is the beginning of Hot Line. Climb up this to the merge and continue up and left to the terminus of the crack, then climb up into a weird pod and then crank a few meters hard right to a hanging flake and get established in another crack (crux). Protect this and make awkward moves to finish on the final slab above.
Belay up top and then rap to the west. We did this on a single 70M rope, but it was close.

Location Suggest change

This route is on the lower part of the East face of Tom's Thumb, just left of a large left-facing dihedral ('Look But Don't Touch', 10b) and right of Treibler's Deception.

Protection Suggest change

A standard rack with cams to fist-sized (3.5"). This route meanders a bit and longer slings are good.
