Description 

Thin smearing leading to some nice edges. Brief crux close to the 1st bolt, then settles down to 5.8 climbing for a bit leading to easier climbing at the top!


Location 

This lies about 20' North of the top of the trail to the Whale; right between First Mate, 10b, and Finnacle, 5.8.


Protection 

5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor (nicely bolted).
