Description 

A smaller section of wall with a central defining dihedral -- More Funky than Gunky (5.9), with a few other good lines on the nearby stone. These include Camel Jockey (13), Childs Play (10c), and the nearby Put Down Your Ducky (5.8). This line is to the right between the main Camel Jockey wall and the left side of the Killer Cave. The Camel Jockey Wall gets morning sun, and the dihedral starts to get shade in the afternoon as the sun moves around the corner.

Getting There 

This small wall is located 50m or so to the left of the last Killer Cave routes, such as Elmo's Fish. From Addiction traveling right, one would pass White Heat Wall and Briskets before reaching Camel Jockey.
