Face climb right down low when things get thin for .10c/d and there will be no excuses for skipping the last 6' to the anchors.

@ 45.803098,-108.587881 Highly recommend! Don't let the grade scare you, if you can climb 10 crack you'll have a blast on top rope, if you've got big fingers you'll probably have to bypass the thin part. A finger size cam directional is handy, if you pop off under the overhang it can be a chore to get back on.
