Description 

Short powerful crux that once surmounted leads to a steep face that can thwart your onsight or redpoint. Unfortunately there is a section in between that has a good bit of popcorn. You will want to have good calluses on your tips, as it isn't always pleasant feeling around to find the holds you will want to use to climb it. Despite this bit of discomfort you will enjoy the moves and the route to the very end.

Location 

Just to the right of Masterpiece Theater. It starts on the right side of a section of what I think is flow stone that looks like a huge tree trunk. You have to stand back a little to see it but you will notice a burl and a triangle shaped knot hole.

Protection 

Bolts. First one is high but the clip hold is a positive slot. Still might be tricky if you are shorter than 5.6.
