Description Suggest change

The prow between the Trinities and Mother of Pearl, listed as project #18 in the Granite Guide. Engaging moderate climbing up some right leaning flakes brings you to a stance on a good ledge. The hard climbing begins here with underclinging straight right, and then a single especially hard move upwards. This maneuver involves a full span dead point off bad feet to a tips lock (may be easier than this grade for taller climbers!). Continue from here straight up the rarely-done flake laybacking second pitch of Trinity Right to finish at the Mother of Pearl anchor. 

The line zig zags a good bit - I managed rope drag by back cleaning the crux draw once established onto the post crux jug. 

Location Suggest change

Look for a right trending flake straight below Trinity Right.
