Description:
Awkward and difficult to protect bulge on lower half. Small slider nut useful if you want to keep off the deck in event of fall on this section. On the FFA lead, I trundled the beloved "Flake" from ledge at 2/3 height, making it a tad safer (??). Top 20 feet of route (above stance) has magical stemming for the avid enthusiast. This is a serious lead and best saved for TR unless you don't mind sticking your neck out on 12A.

Red Point ascent by:
frosted flakes
necky route with difficult to place protection through bottom bulge. The top section above the ledge has magical stemming. This was a more enjoyable TR than lead due to awkward/inadequate protection.
