Description:

A beautiful climb about 20' to the left of the Long Climb. The start is a left facing dihedral with a great hand crack that ends on a wide sloping ledge shared with the second pitch of Long Climb. After this is a roof move, and a sustained 5.9 perpendicular hand crack followed by another one for about 15 feet. Join Whodunit 2/3 way up, or continue up, paralleling Whodunit to a flared slot. Belay there and climb the slot (.10a) and continue straight up to wild roof (.9 - .10a). FFA by Royal Robbins and TM Herbert in 1959.
