Description Not to be confused with "Cellulite District," this is the unbolted and wider dihedral directly to the left of this line.
A stiff, finger lock 5.10b crux start gets you to a small ledge and the beginning of a twin crack system in a dihedral. Easy face moves combined with hand jams and stems move up to an overhanging upper crux. Good jamming technique rewards the crack practitioner.
Protection At one time a trad line with cold shut anchors, this route now sports all bolts.

| Found no loose rock on this the other day. Stiff moves off the ground but it's worthwhile for the upper corner. |

| There now seems to be a route that climbs the north face/arete. It is right next to Common Crimp but not the bolted crack. I am guessing it is new? |

| The arete route has been around for a while. Cactus Pad, 11a. Ok climbing but a lot of hollow plates and loose/brittle flakes. Bolts are a bit far apart, given the probability of a hold breaking. |
