Description
Start is the same as "Thin Air", which starts at a beachball-sized rock.
Climb stiff 5.9+ coarse grained granite face 15' above to contact with the fine-grained aplite rock. Instead of going up right (Thin Air), go left instead, about 15' through a slightly bulging fingertip undercling, then through the 5.10b crux straight up a shallow left facing finger/knuckle crack to the ledge above.
Note: you could set up a top rope after climbing "Smooth Sailing" to the left.
