Description 

Starts just left of Medicine Man (5.7) and climbs thin edges up and left to a crux move past the second bolt. Past the crux, the holds get huge and easier moves lead to a ledge with chain anchors.

While possible to go either way, it's better to stay left of the bolts for a more enjoyable series of moves.

5 bolts, chain anchors (shared with Medicine Man)
