Description 

Technical 5.11- face climbing leads to a short section of reachy, overhung moves at the top, before a final massive deadpoint to a jug next to the chains. Shorter people may wind up using a left hand intermediate pinch to get through the crux. Great climb, perhaps the best on Prospect Mountain.

Location 

This is on the North face of The Thumb, just left of North Overhangs and just right of the Zig Arete. This route goes straight up. If you branch right half way up, you'll find yourself on Vapor Trail, at 5.12+.

Protection 

7 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
