Description 

Begin just right of graffiti and (climber's) left of the descent on the west side of the Fourth Pinnacle. Climb into a cave then out the hand crack splitting a bulge. Solid jams with poor feet make for an exciting albeit short ascent. Finish either left or right to easier terrain.

I climbed it solo, but it can be well-protected with hand-sized cams.
