Kevin on Angel Dust. His first trad lead.

Description P1 - Start up the corner, move right and follow the broken crack system to a bolted anchor near a large tree.
Variation- Towards the top of the pitch, take the offwidth on the right and finish at the same anchor.
P2 - Climb the smaller crack on the right with a small tree in it.
Variation - Climb the offwidth on the left which rejoins the standard line.
Location Route starts in a right-facing corner a little to the left of Byrd's Classic.
Protection Standard rack of cams and a set of nuts. Slings are also always a good idea to minimize rope drag.

| There is also a line to the right of the corner doing a 5.8 finger crack variation. |

| Watch for the loose block about 25 feet up. It has been there for years so it is probably not going anywhere but be careful anyway, its a big one. |

| Really fun route. I'd call the start harder than 5.7 though, especially for short people. |
