Description:
Short roof crack down on the bottom right side of the Harlequin Dome. Start in a dihedral and make a wild move out right to a good ledge with a pin. Clip the pin and make an even wilder, awkward step out left into a tight flareing hand crack. Powerfill hands and fingers lead over the short bulge and up a hand crack to the top.Descent Options:
Rap off the trees to the left, build an anchor for TR or walk off to the left or right.

Tricky move to the ledge, even trickier balancing act to make the step back out left and into the crack. I thought this route was every bit of .10d. Good pro...
