Description A fun route up a right-facing dihedral with a small finger crack. Fun moves up the crack, with the crux about 1/3 of the way up the crack.
Location Route starts on a large ledge directly above Boogaloo Direct. Rap anchors on top, and at the base. Climb starts at the left-most end of the ledge.
Protection Standard rack (a few small-med cams), bolted anchor

| I thought this route was a bit trickier to protect than the Right Flake. |

| For some reason, this wasn't as good as right flake. Still not sure why. It is good early lead. |

| There is a new birds nest right at the base of this route, watch out as momma bird has been very protective. |

| I used a few nuts, a couple of the C3 cams and one or two C4 cams (.5 and .75) and felt like I sewed it up pretty good. I loved this climb, you can stay in the crack or use a combination of crack and arete edge holds, can't wait to get back out there and take another spin on it. |

| Don't feel like you need just small gear for this one. I placed a .75, a 1 and a 2 camalot along with 2 nuts. I felt the protection was as easy or easier than right flake. |
