Description
Face climbing with the occasional jam is the name of the game here with the crux a thin move above a horizontal crack around mid-height.
Higher, as you near the top the protection is somewhat scarce, but the generous nature of the holds makes this of little concern.
- The anchor is set back from the edge on a comfortable ledge so if planning to toprope you'll need to extend it.
Location
This route and it's neighbor Smithereens lie on the shorter face left of Rock Candy and climb heavily featured thin cracks with lots of varnish.
