Description 

This route stays dry in a light rain. Climb up broken rock to reach the arete to the left of the crack system. Climb up the arete to reach the crack and follow it to the thin hands section and a great hand jam. Plug some gear in the thin hands section. From here, make a reach to a horizontal jug and keep going on pumpy but positive holds to the finish.

Location 

At the right end of the Sandstonia Area, locate the obvious overhanging crack system on the underside of a detached pillar.

Protection 

Nothing larger than a #1 Camalot. .75 Camalots for sure. A few nuts or small cams (< .5"). Shuts.
