Description A better climb than it appears. Long legs are useful to rest in a seated position in the initial stem-box. Once in the chimney, protected from any heat of the sun, a stem and finger flake system rides easier territory to the top, owing to the many available footholds.
Location Around a ways on the South Face of Technicolor near the route listed as 'Unnamed 5.10 (left)' This route is Just to the east, on the opposite side of a large, white-capped pillar.
Protection A few smaller cams and a few fist-sized pieces. The Bloom book calls for stoppers (the top is a finger flake) but small cams are just fine.

| This climb is way easier than 10-. With great protection all the way, a useful finger crack, a useful fist to chicken wing crack, and as much stemming as you desire, this thing felt like 9-. |
