Description 

Climb the relatively easy face and crack to the overhang, clip the first bolt of the overhang, and then wonder what in the world you are supposed to do next. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a route with such an easy start for such a difficult finish. These are probably the hardest moves at the crag, but, again, it's only the last 5 feet of the route.

Location 

Located just to the right of the arete in the center of the wall. Look for bolts up on the overhang. This climb shares its first three bolts with Crack (5.8) which splits to the right instead of going over the overhang.

Protection 

Bolts to anchors with no chains. Can also be top roped.
