Description 

A remarkable stem problem that Steve Hong claimed would be, "impossible for people under 5'6"". Don't know if this is true, but most of the pitch requires splits-style stemming between the good corner on the right and incipient features on the left...flexibility is a must! A bolt protects the crux section at about 1/3 height. The upper bit eases off as a shallow corner-crack materializes on the left. Those legs will be worked by the top! A proud lead or a great TR from the anchors on P1 of Tulgey Wood.


Location 

The shallow left-facing corner immediately left of P1 of Tulgey Wood.


Protection 

1 bolt, lots of assort small stoppers and cams. Extended runners recommended as you protect both cracks.
