Description A short, brutally thin seam that starts low on the Twilight Buttress. More of an RP-protected boulder problem than anything else. Jam and lieback the obvious seam past two fixed pins, using some small features on the face as well. The crux comes about a third of the way up, just before making a long move to an edge out right. Difficult to rate -- .13b or c, but some others should try it to consolidate the grade. A great route!
Location Start low on the twighlight buttress, off of a steep slope. There is a large boulder and pine tree just left of the start.
Protection Two fixed pins, small TCUs, and brass nuts. Lowe Balls are nice but not necessary. A bolt protects the mantel onto the slab at the top. Plese don't nail this route! It goes clean, whether aid or free.

| I realize that this route already exists in the database, but I thought that after the FFA it would be appropriate to add an entry for the free route as well. Anyone else have an opinion about this? I also considered just adding comments in the existing entry, but then if someone was searching for free routes it wouldn't show up. |

| Strong work! This route had the obvious name to lure someone like you who could go there and free it. I think it is great! I know George will be excited to hear the news! |

| Adding a second entry for the free version is perfect. Very nice work. |

| And maybe you should name the free line "ChrisT Freed Me" :-) |
