Description Suggest change

'Nubian Slave' is a dark R-facing corner immediately right of the climb Scarface, notable for the Castleton-style calcite decorating the right wall of the dihedral below a roof at the 40' level.

Slightly dicey moves on calcite edges get you up to the roof, after which the corner becomes a smooth, slightly acute slot with big hands/cups. The anchors are not granted until after a creepy OW move around a bulge.

Protection Suggest change

Standard assortment of desert gear, plus a couple extra 3.5 friends and perhaps stoppers for the initial corner.

FYI the rope can push cams way up into the roof (peek back in there and you might see one) &/or get pinched in a cam lobe, so plan to manage this.
