Description:
This route is a lot of work. You'll find it around the right corner from Rock Wars. Hand crack turns into squeeze chimney/lieback depending on your level of comfort with running it out, then to awkward hands and thin overhung fingers on the top. The crux is pretty much the exit move to the ledge. I won't spoil it for you. Guidebook says 5.8, but that top move is harder in my opinion.

brutal top out
Yea, I agree that the top is probably harder than 5.8. THIN lieback and an annoyingly tough topout (just when you think the hard part is over you have to deal with that crap...) It's pretty obvious what you are getting into from the ground though. Our leader who's pretty confident on 10s had to get some coaching at top... glad I didn't try the lead. At least it takes gear well where it gets hard.
