Description
A short but fun route on the narrow east-facing buttress directly across the creek from T-Crack.
Climb up into an alcove, clip the lone vintage bolt, then pull through a short overhang onto a large mantle-shelf. Above this, a unique combination of crack-jamming and arete-slapping will see you through to the top near some large bushes where you build a gear anchor.

Location
East-most end of the Lower Gibraltar formation. The route can be seen directly across the drainage from T-Crack. Approach downhill as for Lieback Annie/Rapture, but fork left when the trail starts to veer right near the cliff-band. A short brush-tunnel and some loose, 4th class gully downclimbing will get you to the base of the route. This is SB adventure climbing, right?
