Description 

Sit start with a couple small but good holds. Make a first left hand move to a large jug sidepull and do the arete with some jugs on the left face. Great fun, a must do. It can be done using *only* the arete but it's significantly harder (V4-V5?).

Location 

Further South down the road from the main Box parking lot, through two washes, up over the hill, park just before the cattle guard. Looking East from your parking spot, you'll see an obvious boulder in the valley South of Major Wall and Alcohol Wall. This climb is located on the big, undercut Northwest face. Downclimb the juggy West face (V0-).

Protection 

pads and a good spot as it is easy to barn door off the last move and end up missing the pads or in a cacti.
