Description

Squat start on a good crimp under the overhang and a good foot far left. Move out to get right hand on a small but good crimp on the face, and then slap your left hand up the inside of the arete on some slopey holds, get your feet up, throw your right hand up to a good three finger crimp, and top out on good holds.

(I think this is new (?) and maybe V4, maybe harder... if you are short....)

Location

This route is in between Phantom Roof and Fork In The Road starting on a good, horizontal crimp under the overhang, following the corner/face, and finishing on good holds.

Protection

A pad.
