Description Follow the obvious right facing corner right of "Over Easy". Do some roof moves and belay. Continue to top.
A great climb with the crux about two thirds up the first pitch.
This is a great route!
Protection Pro to 2.5 in.

| Agreed. Nuts and small cams will do just fine. Crack starts to peter out towards the top. |

| Roof move is quite mellow once you commit. Well protected with a blindly placed #1. |

| This route seemed really un-inspiring. I was really cold however. Got to try it when it's warm. |

| For me, the crux was a bit heady - decent but not great protection where you have to pull the crux slick-slabby-chimney move. Good warm-up before jumping on Fear of Flying which has sustained slick-slabby-chimney moves! |

| Great route, takes gear well, technical and physically strenuous crux. If you put in good pro before the crux, nothing to worry about, but it's heads up just enough to keep it interesting :) Roof moves are straightforward and jug-tastic, extra points for running it out to the chains! |

| The crux protects well with a #5 black diamond nut right in the bottom so you can still get your fingers in above it. After the crux it eases up a lot and the roof is a cakewalk after the thin cracky crux |

| A nutty climb overall with a bit of everything. Got a good nut placement on crux, face moves, one of those squarish nut jobs would have been great. For roof move, if you go right you'll get a better view. Protected it with opposed nuts, ~1". |
