A beautiful corner system which ascends the North end of the Checkerboard wall. There are some sections of crumbly rock, especially near the top, but for the most part the rock is good, the pro is solid and the moves are exciting. A little bit of route-finding is required for the second pitch, which traverses to the right slightly as the crack system peters out.
Location
To get to the start of this route bushwhack your way to the northern end of the cliff. The large shaded corner should be evident. The crack on the first pitch is hands to fist sized, if you're in a chimney, you're on the wrong route. About 60ft off the ground is a large ledge, optionally used as a belay.
To descend, scramble off and down to the north.
Protection
Standard Rack. There are fixed slings at the belay stance.
