Nice climb on good rock. Lots of good foot placements on the face to the left of the crack (it's a left facing corner that angles up to the left). Good hands and fingers in the crack itself. Easily protected. For protection, I used three small aliens lower down and a 3.5 camalot toward the top of the crack. Crack peters out and you continue left to a face for the last 20 or 30 feet or so. Two bolts on top (one brand new) for belaying. It was hot at 9:30 A.M. Fun climb. Walk off clearly marked.

Been a while since I've been on it, but I recall lots of loose flakes to climb, next to the crack. The top bolt was horrible, I think its been replaced. A nice 5.6, but I dont think the rock is up to holding a fall. Choose the pro carefully.
