Description:
On the shady side of the Nautilus. Most easily approached from the SE side, past the Torpedo Tubes. Look for a shallow left-facing corner that starts off a block, then flips to a big right-facing corner about 12 ft up, all capped by a rightward roof traverse. First part is delightful 5.8 fingers and hands, perhaps my favorite climb at the 'Voo. Each move is aesthetic; no two moves are the same. Chains where the crack intersects the roof (1 rope rap). P2 traverses under the roof along a sloping hand ledge with undercut feet and ... well, w/out ruining the adventure for ya, let's just say wearing a snug wool hat might be helpful. (10d)

I've only done the (stellar) 5.8 first pitch of this route, one of my favorite so far at Vedauwoo. Lead this in a light drizzle right before a big thunderstorm moved in. Starts with a fairly steep tricky finger crack (crux) in a corner for about 15', the angle then drops off a bit and the crack turns into bomber hands for the last 50' or so. Fun fun fun.
