Description 

Begin 20 feet left of 'Ruby Slipper' on the same ledge system. Climb up 10 feet into a horizontal-ish, shallow chimney. Grovel leftwards along the diminishing squeeze chimney with sparse protection until a dramatically gymnastic move allows you to enter a pleasant but wider-than-fists crack. Slip in and out of the disappointingly wide crack for a short time to an anti-climatic finish at a large ledge system. It is worth doing once.

Descend as for 'Ruby Slipper'.

Protection 

Standard rack to #5 Camalot. Optional #6 Camalot.
