Description 

The crux on this climb probably depends on your offwidth skills. Climb the initial corner via a wide #5 Camalot sized crack for 20 ft. Double hand stacks here with some features on the face. Next, some chimney moves to reach the base of an overhanging hand/fist crack (crux). Follow the crack to the top of the cliff.

Location 

40 feet left of Scabies, obvious wide crack in a corner.

Protection 

Some large gear, #5 Camalot, #6 maybe helpful. A few #3 camalots and a few #4 camalots. As of 5/08, a nice threaded anchor exists at the top and to the right of the final crack. Several slings and carabiners.
