Description This route was climbed by JG in 2002. It is impossible to be certain, but I believe he made the first ascent. The route was reportedly very dirty at the time, but is now very clean other than a bit of friable rock in the mid-section. Climbing is excellent, and features both crack and face climbing. The name of this climb is merely my suggestion and may be subject to change.
Location Crack system just to the climbers right (East) of Day as Night. Finish at Day As Night anchors.
Protection A standard rack of cams and nuts will do. I placed 11 pieces including 4 nuts and doubles of #0.75 and #2 camalots. You can place pro almost anywhere on the route.

| It's a good one. Always wondered about the thinner crack near the top, now I know. Bottom is fun and as soon as you get to the top of the first pillar and look down at your gear you realize that its steeper than it looks from the ground. Worth doing. |
