Direct variation to Michael's Project. Jam and scum your way up the flared awkward left hand crack in the Michael's Crack corner keeping off the cracks, holds, and ledges of MC. I believe all foot holds and edges on the left side of the crack are OK to use. This thing is insecure and hard to protect but can be protected...
Location
Many Pines Buttress at East Bluff Rampart. Same inside corner as Michaels Project.
Protection
Small wires down low, small cams and wires at mid point. The upper section is same as MC.
Rather than kick out and use holds on Flatus, I think its easier to get your hips way out and get a high step into the main crack. Its kind of like the move up the alcove on Chicago.
Agreed! I use a combination of right foot stuffed into the flared crack and a stem off edges with the left foot and pretty much push up the thing with the legs because the jams are darn tenuous.

Kamikaze is the classic DL "thrutch-fest." I thought it protected pretty well with small cams at the bottom and bigger cams at the top.
